'1 Decembrie 1918' University of Alba Iulia, China's Shandong Jiaotong University sign partnership agreement
The '1 Decembrie 1918' University of Alba Iulia has signed a partnership agreement with China's Shandong Jiaotong University, Rector Daniel Breaz announced on Tuesday, stating that he took part in the 'China - CEEC Dialogue on the Integration of Science, Education and Industry & Industrial Talent Cultivation', a forum aimed at strengthening cooperation between China and Central and Eastern European states in education, research and industrial development.
'During this event, we signed the partnership agreement between the '1 Decembrie 1918' University of Alba Iulia and Shandong Jiaotong University, a leading institution in Shandong province with an academic tradition dating back to 1956, more than 23,000 students and an active presence in international research and education networks,' Breaz wrote on Facebook.
He said the agreement, signed together with Rector Kong Weijin, creates a concrete framework for academic mobility, joint research projects and long-term institutional cooperation.
'The internationalisation of a university is not built through declarations - it develops through dialogue, presence and real academic cooperation. The University of Alba Iulia is building such relationships across all meridians: in Europe, in the Euro-Atlantic space and increasingly in Asia. This collaboration is a concrete step in a broader process of opening toward the global academic space and strengthening our international profile,' Breaz added.
Founded in 1991, the '1 Decembrie 1918' University was included in January in the QS World University Rankings: Europe 2026, where it ranks 99th among Eastern European universities and is placed in the 701 - 900 band at European level.
