Alexander Welzer, President of CDA, is a famous scientist in the field of biology and environment. He also enjoys a high reputation in the fields of innovative research, capital market, digitization and sustainable development. He has nearly 30 years of working experience in academia, business, finance and government departments. In 2018, he started the course From "made in China" to "created in China" at the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien, focusing on China's national innovation system and modern enterprise innovation management.

Welzer has also been invited to China many times to make special reports.
Since its establishment, CDA has organized activities for many times, actively promoted international academic and educational exchanges, and established a good relationship with UCAS. In September 2020, CDA and UCAS jointly held the " Metropolitan Innovation Systems on the Eurasian Continent in the 21st Century", a conference session at the 2020 Beijing Humboldt Forum, which attracted many Chinese and foreign scholars. In January 2022, CDA and The Association of MBAs (AMBA) jointly held an online seminar to discuss how to cultivate business leaders in the 21st century from a Chinese and Western perspective. More than 100 participants from business schools all over the world attended the meeting. Dean Yongmiao Hong was invited to make a keynote speech at the meeting.
The signing of the memorandum of cooperation between CDA and SEM is conducive to both sides to carry out scientific research and academic exchanges, strengthen mutual visits between teachers and students, and actively promote the internationalization of SEM.
