The Marche university is making the most of its internationalization push by strengthening its ties with China. The Italian University recently announced new important developments during a meeting Macerata with a delegation from Beijing Normal University. Among the delegation members, there were also Xiao Kai, director of the Confucius Institutes, and Zhu Ruiping, dean of the School of Chinese Language and Culture.
