The office coordinates the Strategic Partnerships with Tongji University. In addition, it acts as a central contact point for all partners in China and provides support for collaboration and cooperation activities between the TU Darmstadt and partner institutions within the university ecosystem.

Furthermore, the liaison office represents the TU Darmstadt at conferences, international fairs and networking events. Partner visits and other outreach activities are organised by the office as well.
