CAMOT was subsequently registered in the UK. CAC started offering bespoke corporate and executive development, leadership development and coaching programmes, along with the delivery of CAMOT International Conference and China Embracing Innovation Forums very recently in Tsinghua University, Cambridge University, Bournemouth and Stafford with local government, UK and in Helsinki, Finland.

Both parties will work together in validating or re-validating new programmes that can be recognized by and can be topped up to universities in the UK. Both parties will work together in marketing, recruitment, and promotional events to target a moderate increase of the student number and the diversified student body for the delivery of financial sustainability. Both parties will proceed with the proposal for Davis College to have presence in the UK hosted by CAC in Cambridge in order to make Davis a strong corporate brand and for Davis students to have mobility and study experience in the UK, and or USA and or Canada.

This un-traditional, innovative and entrepreneurial university was born during the pandemic with a mission. The educational and learning lose of the students during the university closures is not temporary. Many negative aspects, such as, the curbing of educational aspirations, the disengagement from the university system and absence from the familiar academic ambience on campus will have a long-term impact on students’ journey and learning outcomes.
“Our strategic intention of creating this university with an innovative teaching and learning pedagogy is with consideration of all these issues properly attended”. Professor Li-Hua, the founder of China Embracing Innovation theory, responded to the remarks of John and Diane during the virtual singing ceremony.
