Agora O2O Innovative Structure Enhances Student Journey
Dr. Prem Sharma OBE, Chairman of the Magna Carta World Peace and Sustainability Foundation delivered his greeting remarks noting that:
“I am a retired Veterinary Surgeon and Chartered Biologist. I studied in India, the UK and the USA, and I have worked in North America, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and the UK.I am passionate about PEACE and have always been a campaigner for PEACE and better understanding at every level – PEACE between communities within our diverse nations and PEACE between nations. We must go on working until the power of love is greater than the love of power. All these efforts have been linked with on-going work with communities in the UK, as the issues are global. What happens in conflict areas affects the UK and vice-versa. So we have been working with government Departments and educators to produce appropriate materials to bring people together for open-ended discussion.
I am glad to bring you a message of greetings and good wishes on this important occasion. ELITE Innovation College Cambridge intends to offer holistic education through reframing Oxbridge model via Agora O2O Innovative Structure. It enhances student journey along with its 4 ELITE Colleges, including Innovation College, Technology College, Entrepreneurship College, and Leadership College, which are remarkable educational resource for innovation and developing global talents and entrepreneurs. I congratulate your President, Professor Richard Li-Hua, and his colleagues, and I wish you all success in your studies and work together.
Our late Queen Elizabeth II was a wonderful example of peacemaking through her humble service and wise leadership, visiting over 100 countries in her lifetime, developing relationships of friendship and trust with world leaders, and always demonstrating faith and hope. Make it your aim to be an agent of PEACE like her.”
The Efficient, Accessible and Enrich Experiences Lies at the Heart of EICC O2O Model Developed by Professor Richard Li-Hua and His Team.
Professor Phillip Laird, Chief Innovation Officer and Vice President of Innovation & Global and Academic Partnerships at Trinity Western University, Canada, expressed that:
“On behalf of president, faculty, staff and students of Trinity Western University, I am honored to provide comments today, regarding the opening of collaboration between TWU and EICC. My name is Philip Laird, and I serve both Chief Innovation Officer and Vice President of Innovation, Global and Academic Partnerships at Trinity Western University on the west coast of Canada. I am delighted to work with Professor Richard Li-Hua and the team at EICC, as we are working together to develop and expand the O2O Model that Professor Richard Li-Hua has been advancing over the last 6 years.
This Model is expressed upon access and delivery education worldwide through strategic use of online digital systems, recognizing that unique and invaluable experiences that are reached across the globe by face-to-face learning, here is the term of online and offline or O2O. TWU has develop its own version of O2O Model, called the GXP or Global Express Pathway program for students, with which they can receive 2 or more years of their undergraduate degree in the online format from their location all-around of the world via working toward attending TWU face-to-face in Canada to complete their study in person.
The expanded O2O Model in collaboration with EICC, presents an Agora or a deep learning community, where students, faculty and support staff can engage and exchange resource and knowledge in an open place of ideal sharing and rich learning. In the current era, the question we have to ask ourselves that can we become a full human through only online interruption with material? The O2O Model that is advanced by EICC presents a Model that has taken the best of both online and offline learning, creating efficient online learning for knowledge acquisitions, and combing them with efficient and highly intensive offline engagement that provide the students ability to develop the Identity, competence, experience and wisdom to go with their knowledge. This efficient, accessible and enrich experiences lies at the heart of EICC O2O Model developed by Professor Richard Li-Hua and his team and is consistent the learning journey we have adopted at TWU.”

At EICC, we have brought unconventional and unorthodox to human learning contribution.
Mr. Ramu Damodaran, Chief, UNAI, 2010-2021
Ramu Damodaran sent his bless and appreciation in his marvelous speech:
“Dear Professor Richard Li-Hua, as we met the day in Unite Kingdom on September 2008, it is not hard to recall another date, almost a century ago, September 1928, when Alexander Fleming noticed that a culture plate of Staphylococcus aureus he had been working on had become contaminated by a fungus. A mold, later identified as Penicillium notatum (now classified as P. chrysogenum), had inhibited the growth of the bacteria. He at first called the substance “mould juice” and then “penicillin,” after the mold that produced it. Fleming shared the 1945 Nobel Prize. This invention protects the whole world. Can we capture that same spirit and that same energy but in another different context and meet the goal of global peace?
I am impressed to see the global peace, global harmony, energy and creativity EICC has so fully presented and brought in with its 4 Colleges of Innovation, Technology, Entrepreneurship and Leadership. Combining all of these, we can create a new world where everyone can contribute a global order. At EICC, we have brought unconventional and unorthodox to human learning contribution. The challenge has been fully engaged. I thank all of you being part of that adventure. Best Regards.”

“We are proud that we have pioneered Agora ELITE O2O Innovative Structure. We offer holistic education through reframing Oxbridge model. We are very privileged to have strong connection with Oxbridge with the state of art of technology and world class collegial, inspirational and academic ambiance and environment. Agora, a Greek word, means a public space used for assemblies and market. The literal meaning of the word "agora" is "gathering place" or "assembly". In our term, the “gathering place”, is not only physical but also virtual, which means online and offline. ELITE is an acronym of e-learning of innovation, technology and entrepreneurship within an O2O Innovation University in the global higher education. The strategic intention of establishment of Agora ELITE O2O Innovative Education Platform is an exploration of an innovative education pedagogy of integrating the delivery of programmes, knowledge, contents and education ethos with a global vision embedded in the teaching and learning strategy built into the technological system of O2O university. The Agora O2O demonstrates the important feature – One O sits in Oxbridge while the other O sits globally.
Stanford University was founded in 1885 and rebuilt after the devastating 1906 earthquake and it became the world-famous Stanford today. Henley Business School was set up in 1945 during the Second World War at Henley-on-Thames and it became a global known institution today. ELITE Innovation College Cambridge (EICC) has been known as “the little peach tree borne in Tsinghua in 2006 and grown up and settled in Cambridge in 2014”. However, our college was re-launched in late 2020 during the pandemic, which has a strong capability of survival.
Dear students, I encourage you to do what you love and what you believe. I have confidence on everyone of you together we are creating this university and make a difference. When you have a dream, you can amend it as needed but never give up.
