Cooperations
Twin cities exchange information and their young managers
The ‘Manager Exchange Programme’ is an exchange program for young managers and plays an important part in active maintenance of the vibrant and diverse relationships between the twin cities of Basel and Shanghai. After the successful pilot project, managers from Shanghai will again visit Basel in the autumn of 2011, with people from Basel travelling to Shanghai in the spring of 2012.

Health system
The Department of Public Health of Basel-Stadt, the University Hospital Basel, the University Children's Hospital of both Basel and the Medical Faculty of the University of Basel are supporting a number of projects which aim to promote cultural, medical and scientific exchanges between Basel and Shanghai. Within the framework of the city partnership, cooperation agreements were concluded in 2010 with Shanghai’s three largest medical faculties – Fudan, Jiao Tong and Tongji. These agreements are designed to intensify cooperation at the scientific level and to facilitate the exchange of talented students and young researchers.
