Meetings between CCNU and UOW

Both sides reached a consensus on establishing a comprehensive strategic partnership and proposed the vision of continuing to give play to the advantages of both schools, rooting in localities, sharing the advantageous education resources of the two universities and sketching the beautiful blueprint of the JI in terms of talents training, teachers’ construction, setting up a teaching and research platform and so on.

Both parties said that since its establishment in 2016, JI has achieved satisfactory results in running schools and has continuously improved its scale and influence. The two universities will further support the development of the JI and actively promote talents training and teacher exchanges. Through mutual recognition of teachers, teachers from both sides will be encouraged to participate in the exchange and cooperation between the two universities. Cooperation in scientific research should be strengthened by joint declaration of international and domestic scientific research projects and building a joint laboratory and other research platforms.
