胡寿根校长致辞选摘
2010年，上海理工大学与爱沙尼亚共和国塔尔图大学、塔林理工大学开启校际合作。此后，双方一直保持着频繁而密切的交流，开展了计算机软件等领域的双硕士学位合作，互派交换生与访问学者，共同推动了双方在人才培养、科学研究方面的合作与文化交流，创造了可喜的“双赢”局面。我们非常欣喜地看到了双方在平等互利基础上共同致力于高等教育发展的诚意与愿景。此次总理阁下到访我校，将更加促进爱方高校与我校的交流与合作。
In 2010, USST, along with the University of Tartu, and Tallinn University of Technology, initiated our first inter-collegiate cooperation. Ever since then, both sides have been closely working on cooperative programs on a regular basis, such as Dual-Degree master programs in computer science and other fields, exchange students and visiting scholars, and etc. Our joint efforts have achieved fruitful results on talent cultivation, scientific research and culture development, bringing rewarding benefits to both sides. Moreover, with the aim of higher education development, the cooperation between USST and Estonian universities on the basis of equality and mutual interest also reflects common sincerity and vision from both sides, which, will be further enhanced by today’s visit of Mr. Prime Minister and his delegation.
当前，中国正在大力实施“中国制造2025”战略和“互联网+”行动计划，在这样一个新时代，制造业必定是数字化、网络化、智能化的，而要实现智能制造离不开强大的数字信息技术的支撑
Currently, China is vigorously implementing “Made in China 2025” strategy and “Internet Plus” plan. In a new century like this, our manufacturing industry must be a digital, internet-based and intelligent one. To make this happen, we must rely on the powerful digital information technology.

历史渊源
我校与爱沙尼亚高校的合作始于2010年上海世博会。2010年盛夏,我校国际交流处接待了来自远而陌生国度的三位客人, 爱沙尼亚教育部阿基米德基金会” Study in Estonia”项目经理Mariann Lugus, Sigrid Lainevee, Tauno Tõhk。他们是为在爱沙尼亚馆举办的5个专题工作坊(workshop)，专程来访。此次访问是上海理工大学缘结爱沙尼亚的开始。我校不但组派学生参加了在爱沙尼亚世博馆举办的工作坊，并作为东道主承办了“动漫（Animation）” 工作坊。我校学生在"网络安全（Cyber Security）" 、 "软件工程(Software engineering)"、“可持续能量（Sustainable Energetics）”三个专题赢得最优秀学生奖。2011年5月，获奖学生及其指导教授获得阿基米德基金会邀请及资助，访问爱沙尼亚。
The 2010 Shanghai World Expo witnessed the cooperation between USST and Estonian higher education institutions. In the mid-summer of 2010, the USST International Affairs Office welcomed three distinguished guests from a far and unfamiliar country. They were Mariann Lugus, Project Manager of “Study in Estonia” by Archimedes Foundation, Sigrid Lainevee and Tauno Tohk. They came to USST specially for the five theme workshops held in the Estonian Pavilion. This was how USST met Estonia. USST not only sent students to take part in the workshops, but also hosted the “Animation” workshop. USST students won the Best Students Awards in three workshops, i.e. Cyber Security, Software Engineering and Sustainable Energetics. In May 2011, Archimedes Foundation sponsored the award-winning students and their tutorial professors to visit Estonia.
2011年7月，第一批参加塔尔图大学暑期学校的12名学生抵达塔林，这是我国最早前往爱沙尼亚学习的大学生团队。在2011年至2015年间，我校共计80余人次学生赴爱沙尼亚塔尔图大学、塔林理工大学学习。2014年、2015年，我校为塔尔图大学、塔林理工大学成功申请到国家留学基金委中国政府奖学金项目之中东欧学分生专项奖学金，资助两校学生来华交换学习，目前已有4人次来校。
In July 2011, the first USST group of 12 students attending the UT summer school arrived in Tallinn. This was the earliest Chinese undergraduates' group who went to Estonia for study. From 2011 to 2015,over 80 USST students studied in UT and TUT. In 2014 and 2015, USST successfully applied for Mid- and East-European Academic Credit Students Special Scholarship for UT and TUT, which is part of Chinese Government Scholarship by China Scholarship Council, so as to support students from these two universities to study in China as exchange students. Up to now, 4 students from UT and TUT has been to study
简报
作为与爱沙尼亚塔尔图大学和塔林理工深度合作交流多年的中国高校，上海理工大学十分荣幸地接待了爱沙尼亚总理阁下塔维·罗伊瓦斯先生及其代表团一行。
我校精心组织，尤其值得一提的是，来自我校大学生国际交流协会（SICA）的23名现场志愿者，协助现场的安保以及其他事宜，进行了场地布置，入场安检，人员和嘉宾引导接待工作，体现出我校学生良好的精神风貌与外交素养。
总理先生在活动中，就爱沙尼亚数字化建国的成果与现状进行了阐述，以及中爱学生交流所取得的成果，与未来的愿景进行了深度剖析。从总理先生的演讲中，我们知晓了数字化建国为爱沙尼亚在经济，政治，公共服务等各个领域带来的种种好处，也为爱沙尼亚对科技的重视所启发，最重要的是，我们对这个遥远的国度，有了更深刻的认识。
在演讲完毕后，进入了问答环节，总理先生耐心亲切地回答了现场师生的问题。其中，来自外语学院的大一新生，杨明东同学就大学生如何为数字化建国做出贡献向总理先生提问。对此问题，总理认为，大学生应该勇于将自己所学的知识，通过创业，发扬光大，变现为经济和社会价值，同时，也要注重与其他国家同行的年轻人多多交流，互相学习经验。
总理先生亲临我校，一定程度上，反映了我校与爱沙尼亚高校合作硕果累累。与此同时，总理先生与我们分享的，爱沙尼亚数字建国的成功案例，正是一个国家的生命力，取决于科技力量，取决于对教育的重视，更取决于年轻一代投身于国家建设的决心。

After the speech,the event went to the stage of Q&A, in which Mr. PM graciously andpatiently replied to the questions from teachers and students present. YangMingdong, freshman from the College of Foreign Languages asked what canuniversity students do to contribute to the construction of a digital country.The PM believed that university students should bravely transform theirknowledge into economic and social value through entrepreneurship. In the meantime, they should put emphasize on communicating with other countries so thatexperience can be shared mutually.
Mr. Prime Minister’svisit to our school reflects the fruitful progress of the cooperation betweenUSST and Estonian universities to some extent. The successful case of adigitized Estonia which Mr. Prime Minister shared with us reveal that thevitality of a country lies within the power of technology, the emphasis oneducation but more importantly within the young generations dedication towardsthe construction of a better country.
