To mark the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Austria, the “Chinese Bridge 2026” trip by the Austrian delegation of educators, led by the European Office for Vienna, came to a successful conclusion. The five-day delegation trip took 10 representatives from five Viennese schools to Shanghai and Wenzhou in late October.

The visit focused on professional exchanges regarding educational systems and pedagogical concepts, as well as on strengthening cooperation between the five selected Chinese and Austrian schools. During visits to the university and to partner general and vocational schools, we gained comprehensive insights into innovative teaching models, digital education, practice-oriented vocational training, and the integration of education, business, and culture.

A particular highlight was the signing of the respective cooperation agreements, which serve as the foundation for future joint projects.

The delegation’s trip marks an important step toward further deepening Sino-Austrian educational relations and opens up new prospects for sustainable cooperation between educational institutions in both countries.
