ECJTU is regarded as one of China's top multidisciplinary universities, ranking 180th out of about 3000 Chinese institutions. ECJTU, which is well-known for its robust academic base in engineering and transportation, hosts numerous foreign projects and adds to China's cutting-edge engineering infrastructure.

The international partnerships of IGU are growing stronger!

Officials from ECJTU were shown around the IGU campus following the signing of the partnership protocol. After the visit, ECJTU Technology Transfer Office (TTO) Director Chen Ke and IGU TTO Director Yahya Kemal Kiran had in-depth talks on upcoming initiatives. These discussions present significant chances for the two universities to work together on future projects.
Istanbul Gelisim University seeks to have a global influence in academia and research and attracts attention with its strong position in international relations and its knowledge of quality in education. Such agreements strengthen international cooperation even as they raise the IGU's profile globally.
The cooperation arrangement is seen as a significant step in strengthening the IGU's ties with China and expanding the ECJTU's global influence. Collaborations in the domains of technology, research, and education are expected to support both universities' academic achievements on a worldwide scale.
