To find out solutions for this question, NKU has set up a Research Institute of coordination development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei which acted like a think tank both for the central and Tianjin government. Also, in the field of solving the air pollution of northern China, designing sea water desalination system of Tianjin and standing at the cut edge of A.I. research of China, you can also see the contribution that made by NKU’s scholar and professor.</span></div><div><br/></div><div><span style="font-size:larger;">NKU also has the specific research result transfer office which encourages faculty and students to start their own business based on the research they have conducted.
