ESTIA welcomed a delegation from Shanghai Dianji University (SDJU) on Thursday, October 22, 2026, marking a key step in their academic and industrial cooperation.

The visit by the delegation from Shanghai Dianji University (SDJU), led by its president, Ms. GONG Siyi, focused on the joint training program for the ESTIA Bachelor's degree, currently undergoing accreditation by the Chinese Ministry of Education. New cooperation prospects were also explored.
Several significant advancements marked the day. The signing of two cooperation agreements, one of which establishes a Shanghai Dianji University industrial practice and entrepreneurship center at ESTIA, was celebrated with the unveiling of its plaque. The development of the joint training program for the ESTIA Bachelor's degree was highlighted as a foundational step in the academic partnership.
An ambitious dual campus project between Bidart and Shanghai Lingang was discussed, aiming to facilitate student mobility in both directions. The goal is to welcome Chinese students to ESTIA and enable French students to complete part of their studies in China.
Beyond student mobility, this initiative seeks to enhance exchanges between researchers, applied research, industrial projects, and collaborations with companies from both regions. The delegation also toured ESTIA Tech's activities and visited the Compositadour, Addimadour, and Turbolab technological platforms in Bayonne.
This meeting signifies a new phase towards more integrated academic and industrial cooperation, creating new international opportunities for students, teaching staff, and partner companies of both institutions.
