以相識，啟相知。
Communication for Comprehension
中美大學生交流論壇IMUSE（Initiating Mutual Understanding through Student Exchange）創立於2007年，由哈佛大學、北京大學、清華大學三校學子共同發起，自2017年起，美國麻省理工學院中國發展行動社團（CDI）加入到團隊中。IMUSE一直秉承著「立足中美，放眼全球」的理念，面向全球招募代表，通過實地考察、親身體驗以及對熱點問題的探討，促進全球菁英學子在溝通中增進理解、在互動中建立友誼，是目前中國大陸影響力最大的綜合性非官方青年交流項目之一。IMUSE維持並發展精英網絡，積極推動活動參與者在會期之後的聯絡與其他活動合作，搭建起一個長期的交流平臺。
2017年，麻省理工學院中國發展計劃社團（MIT CDI）加入到三校社團體系中，形成了清華、北大、哈佛和麻省理工四所全球頂尖高校的社團合作。他們與來自清華大學學生對外交流協會 (ASIC)、北京大學學生國際交流協會（SICA）、哈佛大學 IMUSE 組委會等一批優秀學生組建團隊，完成所有會期籌備工作。
在IMUSE2019暑期會期，我們還迎來了衛斯理學院、倫敦政治經濟學院、加州理工、範德堡大學、香港城市大學、中國人民大學等著名高校的學生，匯集全球頂尖高校資源，為IMUSE注入新鮮的血液。
從2008到2019，IMUSE已經走過了12年。在這十二年裡，我們進行了中美青年間的深入探討和研究——從奧運到農村基層，從城市發展到網絡教育。今天的IMUSE，已不再只是精英的聚會，而更是對社會及文化的切實交流與理解。
「以相識，啟相知」——IMUSE2020將會延續這一信念，並致力於搭建一個中美大學生長期、密切、充分的交流平臺；IMUSE堅信，作為時代和社會的未來，青年們應該將國際交流納入日常生活中，努力塑造全球化視野，在未來緊密聯繫的世界中具有核心競爭力。
IMUSE 2019會期圍繞「青年開拓未來」的主旨，以「環境」和「教育」為主題，讓中美學子共同探討與話題相關的中國當下的時事熱點。在七天會期期間，代表們參訪了多家企業、機構——在精銳教育、VIPCODE等網絡教育公司，了解到當今中國教育與網際網路深度結合與學齡編程教育發展的前沿概況；在一撕得物流技術公司了解到中國最新環保型快遞包裝技術的研發與應用；在亞投行總部認識到國際組織對於平衡發展中國家基礎設施投資與環境保護事業所做出的努力；在北京世界園藝博覽會體驗了中國傳統的天人和諧的自然觀的實際應用。最後，代表們還通過小組演講展示了自己對中國當下環保與教育問題乃至中美問題的思考，貢獻青年聲音、青年力量。
Over the past 12 years, IMUSE has never wavered in its tenet of "Communication for Comprehension". During the scorching summer of 2019, just as was expected, IMUSE clung to its time-honored tradition--providing an informal but effective channel for dialogue between Chinese students and their American peers. Honestly, 2019 is really a special year. It marks the 40th anniversary of Sino-US official relationships as well as being a tough period of trade friction that could escalate into conflicts or even wars in an instant. Notwithstanding, it hardly dampens our passion and that of our American friends to discuss heated problems, dispel misperceptions, forge consensus and extend our friendship well beyond the forum and the current impasse. It is our deep-seated belief in the possibility of affecting reality by facilitating mutual comprehension via communication that keeps us fearlessly forging ahead. That is exactly what IMUSE was built for in the first place--the essence of IMUSE.
The contents of this conference have given me personally a lot to think about. I have been thinking a lot about how, what, and when we teach children in the U.S. and China, and about how marketing could play an integral role in sustainable change in the world. These are very important topics, and I will continue thinking about them and talking with friends and colleagues about them at my home institution, Wellesley College. Thank you so much for this incredible and thought-provoking opportunity!

Overall, I think the IMUSE conference helped reveal the modern culture of China that I』d never seen before. It was also interesting to see just how influential and prevalent the online education industry is in China, which is constructed in a pretty different way than in the U.S. I could see which values China emphasized versus America. I really enjoyed debating critical issues such as education, environment, and politics with students my age from all different backgrounds and mindsets. In preparation for the group presentation, Researching on the topic allowed me to more deeply understand the education system of China. In conclusion, the trip showed me a new side of China and I’m extremely grateful for that.
--Emily Huang (MIT)
IMUSE provided us with a great opportunity to communicate with people from different backgrounds which inspired new insights about various issues and helped to achieve mutual understanding among delegates. During the 7-day trip, what impressed me most were the visits to several education companies. It is astonishing how fast the education industry in China develops and achieve a pretty advanced level with the assistance of technological progress.
--Jinming Du (City University of Hong Kong)
I greatly enjoyed the 2019 Summer IMUSE Conference hosted at Tsinghua University with intercollegiate partnerships at Wellesley College, Harvard, and MIT. I found the subject material to be diverse, engaging and thought-provoking! All groups were able to identify special niches within the topic of environment and education to create thorough reports and lead insightful discussions. We bonded with students of different backgrounds and began to better understand their interests, passions, and goals for the future. I believe IMUSE is gaining momentum and strength as an exchange program mentoring the world's future leaders of tech, government, marketing, film, literature, and business. I look forward to working with the program in the future and seeing how the organization continues to grow.
