Delegation visits
An essential aspect of the cooperation platform of the Confucius Institute at the University of Graz is the organization of reciprocal visits.
"More reciprocal visits and regular communication serve to promote mutual understanding; by learning from each other and using the advantages of the other party to eliminate one's own weaknesses, a win-win situation is created." The Confucius Institute Graz has organized and actively participated in various reciprocal visits between China and Austria by high-ranking delegations from business & trade, science & technology and culture.
