4月24日，法国尼斯索菲亚综合理工学校校长亚历山大·卡米那达（Alexandre CAMINADA）先生一行访问同济大学。同济大学常务副校长吕培明会见来宾，外事办公室曲辰副主任、中法工程和管理学院代表出席。

吕培明对卡米那达一行到访表示欢迎。他指出，近年来同济大学与尼斯索菲亚综合理工学校的合作日益密切，我校已连续两年接待尼斯智能建筑系师生在土木工程学院开展为期一个月的访学项目，取得了良好成效。未来，希望双方在更多领域拓展合作，进一步扩大学生交流规模，为两校师生创造更多跨文化学习与交流的机会。

卡米那达感谢同济大学的热情接待，并回顾了两校多年来的友好合作历程。他表示，尼斯索菲亚综合理工学校高度重视与同济大学的合作关系，尤其是在工程师培养和科技创新领域。他强调，人工智能已成为全球高等教育和产业变革的核心驱动力，期待两校能在此领域开展合作，共同培养具有国际视野的高层次人才。

会谈结束后，卡米那达一行前往参加同济大学-尼斯索菲亚综合理工学校“国际青年领袖交流计划”（FLY，全称Future Leaders for Youth）闭幕式。该项目围绕土木工程领域中的人工智能应用，开展专题讲座、联合研讨与实地实践。来自尼斯索菲亚综合理工学校的10名国际学生与来自同济大学土木工程学院的10名中国学生共同参与，在交流互鉴中深化认知、增进友谊。

此次访问进一步巩固了两校的传统友谊，并为未来在人工智能等新兴领域的合作奠定了坚实基础。双方一致表示，将以此次会谈为契机，加强学生交流，推动两校合作迈上新台阶。

Director of Polytech Nice Sophia Professor Alexandre Caminada visited Tongji University

On 24 April, a delegation led by Professor Alexandre Caminada, Director of Polytech Nice Sophia, visited Tongji University. Lyu Peiming, Executive Vice President of Tongji University, received the delegation. Qu Chen, Deputy Director of the International Affairs Office, and representatives from the Sino-French Institute of Engineering and Management also attended the meeting.

Lyu Peiming extended a warm welcome to the delegation. He noted that cooperation between Tongji University and Polytech Nice Sophia has grown increasingly close in recent years. For two consecutive years, Tongji has hosted faculty and students from the Department of Smart Buildings of Polytech Nice Sophia for a one-month exchange programme at the College of Civil Engineering, which has achieved outstanding results. Looking ahead, he expressed hope that the two universities will expand collaboration in more fields, further increase the scale of student exchanges, and create more opportunities for cross-cultural learning and interaction for faculty and students of both sides.

Professor Caminada thanked Tongji University for the warm reception and reviewed the long-standing friendly cooperation between the two universities. He stated that Polytech Nice Sophia attaches great importance to its partnership with Tongji University, especially in engineering education and scientific and technological innovation. He emphasized that artificial intelligence has become a core driver of global higher education and industrial transformation, and looked forward to cooperation between the two universities in this field to jointly cultivate top talents with an international vision.

After the meeting, Professor Caminada and his delegation attended the closing ceremony of the FLY (Future Leaders for Youth) Programme co-hosted by Tongji University and Polytech Nice Sophia. Focusing on the application of artificial intelligence in civil engineering, the programme included special lectures, joint seminars and field practices. Ten students from Polytech Nice Sophia and ten students from the College of Civil Engineering of Tongji University participated in the programme, deepening their understanding and enhancing their friendship through exchanges and mutual learning.

This visit further consolidated the traditional friendship between the two universities and laid a solid foundation for future cooperation in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence. Both sides agreed to take this meeting as an opportunity to strengthen student exchanges and elevate the cooperation between the two universities to a new level.
