NJU has been promoting the global engagement strategy by implementing a series of innitiatives and plans including the NJU International Fellowship Initiative, the NJU International Engagement Initiative, and the NJU International Collaboration Initiative. All these initiatives aim to strengthen mutual exchanges between Chinese and international faculty, and foster international scientific research cooperation.

International faculty  actively participated in the discussion, offering valuable insights on enhancing NJU's global reputation, fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration, and creating a more dynamic academic environment.
