SYSU delegation to visit TUC in November-December 2018

In late 2018, a delegation from SYSU will visit Chemnitz to participate in the TUC China Days.

We have drafted a very preliminary programme, which covers one day organized by the Faculty (with contributions from other "China professors" and SYSU2TUC and TUC2SYSU exchange students), and a more academic symposium the following afternoon organized by the English Dept. Of course, we will leave enough time for cultural encounters, not only official talks.

incl. Prof. Yang Jin (Germanistik, School of Foreign Languages, SYSU, China) Germanistik/German Studies in China
