Recently, the final of the “China-Latin America 2025 Youth Challenge to Alleviate Poverty” was successfully held at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.

The event was organized by Tsinghua University in partnership with the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, the Catholic University of Chile, the University of Chile, the University of the Pacific in Peru, and Las Bombas (from Minmetals, China), among other institutions, attracting more than 310 teachers and students from 27 universities and companies in China, Brazil, Chile, and Peru.
