October 29th saw the opening ceremony of the 2nd Sino-Foreign Postgraduate Research Forum of Jiangsu University.

Through the day(s) of listening, talking, exchanging ideas and communicating with each other, everybody agreed they learned or obtained a lot of information. The function of the 2nd Sino-Foreign Postgraduate Research Forum could be summarized as: on one hand, our domestic graduate students found a platform to show and verify their research results and exhibit themselves in an internationalized manner; on the other hand, besides the above-mentioned benefits, our overseas students got an opportunity to introduce and promote their native culture and opinions. The atmosphere had always been solemn, friendly and warm.

While cherishing the memories, we want to proudly say that the 2nd Sino-Foreign Postgraduate Research Forum achieved remarkable success in promoting academic research and helping accelerate the internationalizing step of Jiangsu University.
