GIFT pioneers acomprehensive reform to create an innovative education system that breaks downthe boundaries of learning, disciplines, and universities. The goal is todevelop a unique academia-industry collaborative education system to cultivatefuture academic and industrial leaders with strategic and global vision. GIFThas established two novel interdisciplinary undergraduate majors, namely “SustainableEnergy” and “Health Science andTechnology,” which are the first of its kindapproved by MoE in China. The curricula set up a student-centered andexcellence-oriented talent cultivation system integrating undergraduate,master, and PhD studies. Diverse educational initiatives include academic mentorshipfor undergraduates to provide all-around guidance; personalized study plan tobuild an interdisciplinary background; innovative evaluation criteria tostimulate all-around development; in-depth integration among industries,universities, and research institutes to hone the cutting-edge innovationability; and multi-modal international cooperation to foster future globalleaders. Basedon SJTU's strengths in multiple disciplines such as science, engineering,biology, medicine, and management, GIFT has established several researchcenters focusing on future batteries, future photovoltaics, extrememanufacturing, intelligent vehicles, brain health, sports health, and humandigital twins, etc., to embrace future industrial revolution through extensivecross-disciplinary research. Withextensive support from domestic and international leading companies, GIFTactively explores new mechanisms for the technology transfer of scientificdiscovery, and nurtures leading talents that foster new productive forces foreconomic and social development. Locatedin the central area of Minhang Campus, GIFT’s current working space atthe East Wing of Yue-Kong Pao Library boasts a picturesque view of Siyuan Lake.GIFT's new building, to be completed in 2026 for 60,000 square meters and atwin building adjacent with CATL (Shanghai) Research Institute, will become alandmark in the ‘Grand Neo Bay’Global Innovation and Entrepreneurship Community in Shanghai. JoinGIFT, become GIFTed talents! We welcome brilliant scholars around the world toco-create the future.
