NUST attaches importance to scientific research cooperation with overseas high-level universities and scientific research institutions. It has successively established gelette nanotechnology research institute with Karlsruhe Institute of technology in Germany, and established joint research centers or laboratories with many universities and scientific research institutions such as Lille University of science and technology in France, UFA University of Aeronautical technology in Russia and gomeri National University in Belarus The university has carried out cooperative research, lectures and other academic exchange activities with more than 400 overseas experts and scholars.

As of April 2019, the university has built 13 international joint laboratories, 1 national level international joint research center, 1 demonstration national international science and technology cooperation base and 5 discipline innovation and talent introduction bases in Colleges and universities. It has held Sino foreign cooperative school running projects with Carnegie Mellon University in the United States and Coventry University in the United Kingdom, and jointly built the Sino French Institute of engineers with the National Institute of engineers in mace, France In, the University cooperated with Karlsruhe Institute of technology in Germany to establish gelet Institute of nanotechnology. The university built a Confucius Institute with Gomel University in Belarus. Focusing on the national military civilian integration development strategy, the University established Jiangsu military civilian integration research institute to promote the in-depth development of military civilian integration; accelerated the pace of industry university research cooperation, and established 8 off campus research institutes to play the role of national technology transfer centers Role, promote the transformation and application of major scientific and technological achievements, and serve the national and local economic and social development. Technologies such as reuse of waste explosives and explosives, civil blasting, preparation of special ultra-fine powder, intelligent deposition welding, robot intelligent welding, automatic seal authenticity identification system, etc. have filled the gaps in relevant fields and created huge economic and social benefits.

History

The Nanjing University of Science and Technology can be traced back to 1953, as Department of Artillery Engineering of Institute of Military Engineering of the PLA (People’s Liberation Army) in Harbin.
