David Craig highlighted JCU’s focus on experiential learning, mentioning its national-level research centers and multiple institutes that have built an ecosystem for innovation and entrepreneurship. He looked forward to seeking cooperation opportunities in new fields with SZTU.

Since its establishment, SZTU has been advancing internationalization through campus visits, student exchange programs, joint talent cultivation, international course development, joint laboratory establishment, and overseas office construction. These efforts have deepened academic exchanges between SZTU and her global partners, and provided a broader platform for growth and development for faculty and students. The partnership with JCU signifies an expansion of SZTU’s cooperation network with Australian universities, and is expected to offer students and faculty from both universities a wealth of opportunities to learn, collaborate, and innovate on the international stage.

To date, SZTU has established cooperative relationships with six Australian universities, including the University of Canberra, the University of Western Australia, Macquarie University, Queensland University of Technology, James Cook University, and La Trobe University.
