Study Tour Group from IU University Germany Visits OPEN

During the National Day Golden Week, OPEN received a faculty‑student group from IU University Germany. The group toured OPEN’s exhibition hall for academic exchanges, jointly exploring the development of steel‑structure technology with an international cross‑border perspective.

OPEN’s team provided full‑time reception throughout the event. The visiting teachers and students were given a comprehensive introduction covering the company’s development history, technology & product portfolio and global engineering layout. Participants observed structural models, prefabricated‑construction process displays and innovative composite‑structure exhibits up‑close, gaining first‑hand insight into OPEN’s R&D capabilities and practical achievements in the field of new‑type building structures.

Professor Li Zheng from IU University spoke highly of the innovative European‑Style Steel‑Frame product and hoped to promote its popularization and application in Germany. German engineering representatives commented that OPEN’s exhibition hall presents architectural‑structure knowledge in an easy‑to‑understand manner, delivering a learning experience comparable to that of professional universities and research institutions.

This cross‑border academic exchange during the National Day holiday not only enabled the overseas university team to gain in‑depth understanding of China’s innovative steel‑structure technologies, but also built an international academic‑exchange platform for OPEN. It further broadens development paths for university‑enterprise cooperation and technical interoperability, supporting the enterprise to continuously engage in cutting‑edge global civil‑engineering and architecture fields.

IU International University of Applied Sciences (IU University Germany) is a state‑accredited private university of applied sciences in Germany and one of the country’s largest higher‑education institutions. Upholding Germany’s classic concept of integrating industry with education, its teaching focuses on translating theories into practice and real‑world engineering experience. Majors such as civil engineering and architectural engineering focus on cutting‑edge directions including prefabricated construction, sustainable buildings and digital engineering, with an emphasis on cultivating engineers capable of solving practical engineering problems.

The university attaches great importance to international exchanges and has long organized teachers and students for on‑site study tours at overseas enterprises. The visiting professor and civil‑engineering student group made a special trip to OPEN’s exhibition hall to learn about the development of China’s steel‑structure industry, prefabricated construction and low‑carbon structural technologies. They also carried out comparisons of cross‑border engineering cases and academic discussions.
