Global Innovation Exchange (GIX) inverts educational transfer

In its reported first of its kind initiative, Washington University (U.S.A.) AND Tsinghua University (China) have opened a joint university about 10 minutes from WU's Bellevue location.  The programs are starting small, with 43 students in the entry 15-month master of science in technology and innovation program. Generously supported by a 40 million dollar grant from Microsoft, the idea appears to have considerable appeal for learners (the term used instead of students), institutions, industry, and cross-national partners.
