UK institutions are invited to send one professor to deliver a day’s training at Nanjing University’s Centre for Teaching and Learning. The training should cover how British Universities conduct innovation and entrepreneurship courses for undergraduates, how these courses are structured and how to improve students’ soft skills. The audience will consist of 30-40 university lecturers coming from different universities in China.  The one day course is tentatively scheduled for October, with the exact date subject to discussion. 

 

The Centre will pay for the international flights (economy class), accommodation (university hotel) and RMB10,000 for the training fee. 

 

This is also a good opportunity to establish a relationship with Nanjing University in order to help it achieve its long term goal of becoming a national leader in delivering courses on University Students’ Innovation.
