Um mögliche Kooperationsfelder in Forschung und Lehre auszuloten, trafen sich am 10. Juni 2013 an der Uni Graz der Chancellor der Nanjing University, Professor Hong Yinxing, und Rektorin Christa Neuper zu einem gemeinsamen Gespräch. Die 1902 gegründete Nanjing University setzt sich aus knapp 60 Instituten zusammen, an denen über 400 Studienprogramme in den unterschiedlichsten Disziplinen auf Bachelor-, Master- und Doktoratsebene angeboten werden. Wie die Karl-Franzens-Universität hat sie rund 30.000 Studierende. Die Nanjing University liegt in der Provinz Jiangsu, wo auch die Partneruniversität des Konfuzius-Instituts Graz, die Jiangsu University, beheimatet ist.
