Recently, the National Finals of the China International College Students’ Innovation Competition (2024) came to an end at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Our school’s teachers and students have worked hard and won five national awards, including two national silver awards. The number of national awards won has reached a new high in the school’s history in this competition. Our school is the only private university in the province that has been shortlisted for the on-site gold medal competition of the national competition. Among them, the industrial proposition competition is the first time that our school has been shortlisted for the gold medal competition.

The five award-winning teams from our school come from the School of Information and Business Management and the Higher Vocational and Technical College. The project is committed to solving 35 innovative technological frontiers such as “bottleneck” technologies. The research results cover areas such as satellite remote sensing, air pollution monitoring, population aging, and integrated digital health platforms, which can be applied to various scenarios such as oceanography, meteorology, military, agriculture, logistics, hospitals, and campuses. They have won multiple national and provincial competition awards, invention patents, and national academic journal papers, showcasing the educational practice achievements of our school's competition innovation integration and industry innovation integration.
