The day’s main event was the XJTLU High-Quality Development Conference that reflected on the University’s 20-year educational journey, saw the release of XJTLU’s newest 10-year strategic plan, and launched the official university anthem, “Onwards We Go”.<\/p>\n

In his address unveiling the University’s new strategic plan, Professor Youmin Xi, Executive President of XJTLU, said: “XJTLU’s core strategy for the next decade will pivot from building upon its 3.0 industry-innovation ecology toward exploring the XJTLU 4.0 model.”<\/p>\n

This new phase aims to achieve a deep integration and collaborative development across industry, academia, research, government, and society.<\/p>\n

Professor Tim Jones, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Liverpool, recalled in his speech that XJTLU started with an inaugural cohort of 164 students in 2006 and has now grown to nearly 26,000 students.<\/p>\n

He commended its remarkable achievements in blending the educational advantages of East and West, in cultivating talent, in driving research innovation, and in serving as a bridge for UK-China cooperation, saying: “XJTLU has become, in my view, the most successful transnational education venture globally.”<\/p>\n

In his address, Academician Professor Wenquan Tao, President of XJTLU, noted that XJTLU has evolved from a “one-building university” into a Sino-foreign cooperative university with an open and modern campus, and a highly internationalised educational approach.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, he emphasised: “Innovation is forever embedded in the DNA of all XJTLUers.”<\/p>\n

The anniversary celebrations also included the unveiling of commemorative gifts from the University’s two parent institutions: the Liver Bird Sculpture at XJTLU’s Entrepreneur College (Taicang) from the University of Liverpool, and the Yinshui Siyuan Monument at the SIP campus, from Xi’an Jiaotong University.<\/p>\n

Concurrently, from 21 to 24 May, the 11th Annual Conference on Higher Education Innovation & the Final of the 11th XJTLU National University Teaching Innovation Award was held at XJTLU Entrepreneur College (Taicang).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
