Background

Internet-Bridge Potsdam-Beijing is the extension of the former cooperation project, Internet Bridge Trier-Beijing, between University of Trier and Beijing University of Technology from October 2002. The Internet-Bridge Potsdam-Beijing will be a regular and long term collaborative activity in the computer science education fields between Germany and China. Also, in the framework of the Internet-Bridge Potsdam-Beijing, two groups of Chinese students have been studied at HPI for a doctoral degree since October 2001.
On 8-19.09.2007, we celebrated at HPI the five years' anniversary of our project: More information on the offcial celebration
The technique used for recording the lectures and transmitting them over the Internet is the tele-TASK technology which was developed at HPI. The lecture courses will end with an oral examination at HPI for German students at HPI and for Chinese students in Beijing.
