Two members of the German parliament, Mr. Tankred Schipanski and Mr. Axel Knoerig, met with TNUA President Prof. Chen Kai-Huang and other administrators during their visit to the university on November 28. The members of parliament were accompanied to the visit by some other guests of honor from Germany: Berlin city official Mr. Erik Voigt; Prof. Anges Schipanski from SRH Hochschule der popularen Kunste (HDPK); and Mr. Lars Laschinski fro CALA. Prof. Chen gave the visitors a brief introduction to TNUA’s development and its international ties, noting that TNUA has sister ties with more than 20 higher institutions for the arts in Europe, such as the Berlin University of the Arts, Musikhochschule Lubeck, Hochschule fur Musik Detmold, and Universitat Kassel. The sisters schools cover various fields, including music, fine arts, and multimedia, and TNUA’s exchanges with them have been very impressive. Prof. Chen noted that TNUA has also been serving as the chair for the Asian League of Institutes of Arts (ALIA) since 2014, and apart from promoting exchanges and cooperation among members, it has also built up strong ties with the European League of Institutes of the Arts (ELIA). Mr. Schipanski said he had visited many higher institutions of the arts over the years, and he was deeply impressed by TNUA. Prof. Schipanski said HDPK offers artistic and technological programs, as well as studies of media theory.
