The Belt and Road Architectural University International Consortium (BRAUIC)

Brief Overview

The Belt and Road Architectural University International Consortium (BRAUIC) was established on October 10, 2017, in Beijing, with 44 founding universities from 19 countries, including Russia, Poland, France, the UK, and the USA. It focuses on fostering technological innovation and creating collaborative platforms for global universities.

In 2021, ITS became the first Indonesian member of BRAUIC, marking a significant milestone in its collaborative efforts. Operating under principles of equality, openness, and win-win cooperation, BRAUIC aims to cultivate high-quality international engineering talent, promote urban-rural development along the Belt and Road, and encourage innovation. Its initiatives include academic exchanges, joint research, cultural and sports activities, student and staff mobility, and promoting the Chinese language.

Scope

Building BRI Architectural Education community
- Integrating and revising postgraduate training programs among universities and establishing a joint development mechanism for training programs, courses, and teaching staff.
- Engaging overseas students majoring in architecture, civil engineering, environmental engineering, artificial intelligence, and industrial robotics from BRI countries in a cooperative training program.
- Putting into place a long-term working mechanism to broaden students’ international vision and build their innovation capacity, including the Belt and Road International Student Competition on Digital Architectural Design and summer school programs under the framework of BRAUIC.

Teaching staff’s capacity-building is prioritized in a working system with a balanced focus on the internationalization of the teaching staff and their engineering practice and abilities
- Inviting overseas experts to BUCEA: Pilot university for “High-end Overseas Talents”; specifically-invited expert of Beijing Advanced Innovation Center for Future Urban Design; and more attraction for talents with experience in studying abroad.
- Dispatching BUCEA teaching staff to overseas universities: Overseas studying programs for full-time lecturers; rotation training programs for all English teachers; and rotation training projects to enhance young lecturers’ engineering practice.

Building a diversified community for the communication of architectural culture under the BRI framework
- Establishing a teaching mechanism for the exchange of lecturers from BRAUIC colleges and universities.
- Founding 30 international joint design workshops with well-known foreign universities.
- Creating the project of BRI international summer school, benefit-sharing programs of summer school programs, overseas exchange programs, and the program of “Sailing Toward Your Dreams,” etc.
- International academic conferences on key disciplines such as architecture, civil engineering, surveying and mapping, and engineering management.
