Global Masters Talks

Global Masters Talks bring together professors from world-renowned universities, highly cited researchers, international awards winners, influential scholars, and members of international professional and technical associations to give special lectures or presentations to all GEC students. A broad range of topics is offered in the areas of arts, science, engineering, and business, aiming to further strengthen students' theoretical foundation for frontier theories, equip students with research methodology skills, and ultimately prepare students for future study and internationalized scientific research. Talks are held every Thursday online, and students can opt to attend the one(s) that match their interests.
