The German Research Center of Northwestern Polytechnical University will give full play to the university’s research system and research strength, integrate the research power of China and Germany, build an inter-academic and interdisciplinary university think tank, provide consulting and training services for Chinese and German firms and organizations, and carry out project cooperation, cultivate talents in German research and Sino-German cooperation, and help Taicang to further promote the high-quality development of cooperation with Germany.
A ten-member consultant team was established at the launching ceremony.
