With the aim to forging synergistic research, a tripartite collaboration was developed among CUHK, Tsinghua University and MIT to establish the Tsinghua-MIT-CUHK Joint Center for Theoretical Computer Science. CUHK also collaborated with Nanjing University and Taiwan Central University to establish Cross-Strait Green University Consortium.
