Office in Germany
Office in Germany
In the 1980s, the German Center of Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) was established to support German language instruction within the university and its exchanges with Germany. Today, as part of SJTU’s “Global SJTU” initiative, the Center has redefined its mission around four core functions: facilitating connections and exchanges, promoting collaborative innovation, integrating with university initiatives, and serving as a regional hub for outreach. These pillars aim to further strengthen SJTU’s partnership with German institutions.
In 2023, the German Center officially launched its Munich branch, featuring teaching and logistical support facilities. The Center is actively expanding its mobile classroom initiative in Germany, while also serving as the secretariat of the Ministry of Education’s Sino-German Innovation Consortium for Industry, Academia, and Applied Research. In doing so, it is helping develop a more structured and impactful platform for China-Germany cooperation.
