With this in mind, Jean-François Huchet, President of Inalco, Peter Stockinger, Vice-Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board and Gilles Forlot, Vice-Chairman for International Relations, visited Beijing, Hong Kong and Singapore in October. Two framework agreements were signed. They cover scientific, academic and pedagogical collaboration.

Inalco's expertise is particularly appreciated and sought after in the following fields: research in linguistics and areal studies, language and civilization teaching, and expertise in the geographical areas of Africa and the Middle East.

Cooperation with HKBU and research projects with HKUST (Hong Kong)

In Hong Kong, Jean-François Huchet has signed an agreement with Roland Chin, President of Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU). The aim is to welcome students from HKBU's European section to Inalco from September 2020 to take civilization courses. The challenge for HKBU students is to complement their curriculum with multi-disciplinary international expertise. Meetings were also held at the Hong Kong University of Sciences and Technology (HKUST), which offers very interesting prospects for social science research, particularly in East Asia.
