Overview

Founded in 2013, ShanghaiTech University is a research university jointly established by the Shanghai Municipal People’s Government and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), with a strong emphasis on academic excellence and global engagement.

On February 14, 2022, ShanghaiTech joined the list of China’s World-Class Universities Project as the youngest university in that list.

Located in Shanghai’s Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park, ShanghaiTech plays an important role in the development of the Zhangjiang Comprehensive National Science Center, in collaboration with CAS institutes. The proximity of neighboring facilities provides extensive opportunities for scientific collaborations. The world-class scientific facilities include the National Facility for Protein Science (Shanghai), the Shanghai High repetition rate XFEL and Extreme light facility (SHINE), the Shanghai Super intense Ultrafast Laser Facility (SULF), the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF), the Shanghai Soft X-ray Free Electron Laser Facility (SXEFL), among others. These facilities are open not only to ShanghaiTech staff and students, but also to researchers from across China and around the world. The university has established world-class scientific research infrastructures, including the National Key Laboratory of Quantum Functional Materials, the National Key Laboratory of Advanced Medical Materials and Medical Devices, the Ministry of Education Key Laboratory of Intelligent Perception and Human-Machine Collaboration, and the Shanghai Key Laboratory of High-Resolution Electron Microscopy. With these major research facilities and the opportunities provided by China’s World-Class Universities initiative, ShanghaiTech is significantly enhancing its innovation capacity in support of national development strategies. Meanwhile, ShanghaiTech is responsible for the construction and management of the Shanghai Clinical Research and Trial Center. Approved by the Shanghai Municipal People’s Government and affiliated with the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Health, the center is designed to be a top-tier research-oriented general hospital.
