Abstract
ABSTRACT While aid agencies may remain sceptical about university projects, a review of 20 years of Canada-China higher education cooperation demonstrates that, when they are successful higher-education interventions can produce durable and far-reaching results. The review highlights the “knowledge advantage” of university cooperation, including the inherent results multipliers of teaching and research, and the multi-generational nature of project participants. CIDA and Canadian universities should move from a transactional to a strategic relationship. Engaging a new generation of faculty and students, renovating centres of expertise and building knowledge networks are important tasks for the future.
