Flinders University leaders joined friends at Nankai University in Tianjin, China, to celebrate its 100th anniversary on 17 October 2019.<\/p>\n

One of China\u2019s most highly regarded universities, Nankai University is a key Flinders\u2019 partner and has collaborated with the University for almost two decades to deliver postgraduate programs in Tianjin.<\/p>\n

Over this time, the Flinders \/Nankai Master of Arts in International Relations \u2013 Economy and Trade, Masters in Hospital Administration, and Master of Educational Leadership and Management have produced a combined total of some 6,000 graduates.<\/p>\n

This year, the partnership expanded to research, with Flinders and Nankai together leading the Australia-China Centre for Personal Health Technologies to deliver real-time health solutions, winning funding from both Australian and Chinese governments.<\/p>\n

Chancellor Stephen Gerlach, Vice-Chancellor Professor Colin Stirling and Vice President and Pro Vice-Chancellor (International) Sebastian Raneskold were invited to attend Nankai\u2019s key anniversary celebration event, which was the highlight of a year of special events and activities leading up to the university\u2019s centenary.<\/p>\n

They met with President of Nankai University Professor CAO Xuetao, who thanked Flinders for its contribution to Nankai\u2019s international achievements, especially through the delivery of the joint Master programs.<\/p>\n

Professor Cao confirmed Nankai\u2019s commitment in further internationalisation and said he looked forward to deepening collaborations between the two universities.<\/p>\n

Professor Stirling welcomed the opportunity to strengthen the relationship, building on existing teaching and research partnerships, and also congratulated Professor Cao on Nankai\u2019s great achievement in the past 100 years.<\/p>\n

He presented a gift on behalf of Flinders University, a specially commissioned plaque with an image of Nankai\u2019s most famous alumni and China\u2019s first Premier, the late Premier Zhou Enlai.<\/p>\n

Professor Cao presented a thank you gift to Flinders, a Chinese painting by famed artist and Nankai Alumni Mr Fan Zeng.<\/p>\n

As part of the anniversary celebration, Professor Stirling took part in the World University Presidents Forum attended by more than 40 of Nankai\u2019s international partners, and chaired a panel on improving capability to build a world-class university. Chancellor Gerlach hosted a special anniversary dinner.<\/p>\n

Nankai University is one of China\u2019s elite \u2018Double First Class Universities\u2019 targeted by the Chinese Ministry of Education for development into world-class universities. Nankai is ranked 368 in the QS world university rankings. Its centenary celebrations attracted around 4,600 participants.<\/p>\n

Commemorative activities over the year included a dragon boat competition for leading global universities and a special issue collection of commemorative stamps and coins.<\/p>\n
