Chinese delegation checks out Massey’s food tech facilities
Friday, 21 November 2008
Massey University's reputation as a leader and innovator in food technology education prompted a Chinese delegation of business leaders from the Beijing region to check out facilities and teaching programmes at the Albany campus recently.
(via Massey University) Mr Meng Xianjin, Director, People’s Government of Caiyu Town of Daxing District, Mr Liu Fengzhu, Deputy Director, Bureau of Township Enterprises of Changping District, Mr Wang Huimin, Director General, Beijing Municipal Bureau of Township Enterprises and Mr Wang Yuesheng, Vice Secretary General, Beijing Township Enterprises Association made up the visiting delegation. They were shown Massey's facilities by Professor Ray Winger, Director of the Institute of Food, Nutrition and Human Health, and Professor Charles Brennan, Director Food Technology and Science Division at the Institute of Food, Nutrition and Human Health in Palmerston North.
Professor Winger says the purpose of the visit was for the delegates to gain an overview of the Institute’s research, teaching and facilities with the hope of establishing a link for potential training opportunities in China. The delegates, who were in New Zealand to visit a range of business and educational organisations, also discussed food packaging and food safety issues and were particularly interested in food processing and production developments at Massey.
