The Technical University of Darmstadt (TU Darmstadt) has established regional offices in key strategic regions in Asia and North America with the aim of enhancing and intensifying the collaboration and communication with partners both at higher education institutions and in industry in these regions.
The office coordinates the Strategic Partnerships with Tongji University. In addition, it acts as a central contact point for all partners in China and provides support for collaboration and cooperation activities between the TU Darmstadt and partner institutions within the university ecosystem. As a campus office, we are thus closely connected to the current academic and research landscape in the region.
Furthermore, the liaison office represents the TU Darmstadt at conferences, international fairs and networking events. Partner visits and other outreach activities are organised by the office as well.
