Campus view of WUT

Qingdao University,
WUT possesses 27 innovative research centers with international leading level including two State Key
Laboratories, a State Engineering Laboratory and provincial or ministerial level laboratories in the areas
of new materials, new energy, transportation and logistics, mechatronics and automobile, information
technology as well as resources and environmental technology. In recent 10 years, WUT has obtained
nearly RMB 3 billion of fundings from government and industrial sectors for high-tech research and
development, and has made a lot of innovative and important technological achievements. Meanwhile,
the University has established its Science Park in WuhanChina Optical Valley, covering an area of 58.7
hectares, where it has incubated and fostered more than 6 high-tech enterprises based on new materials,
fiber optical sensors, high-speed shipping, new energy technology and advanced manufacturing. In 2010,
the total revenue of the Science Park reached RMB1.58 billion.
WUT has formed three important Boards of Directors with the industrial sectors of building materials and
construction industry, transportation industry and automobile industry, totally covering 167 large
backbone enterprises. The Boards of Directors hold annual me etings regularly to discuss the important
issues concerning the mutual development between the university and the three industrial sectors.
Meanwhile, WUT has established cooperative relations for students exchange and scientific research

with more than 100 foreign universities and research institutions from USA, UK, Japan, France, Australia,
Russia and the Netherlands, etc. and invited over 200 international famous scholars to be guest
professors or honorary professors.
In 2006 and 2007, the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs and the Ministry of Education made
a joint approval of establishing a state base in WUT for discipline innovation and talent import in the field
of advanced materials technology and high-speed shipping technology. In 2008, the Ministry of Science
and Technology approved WUT to establish an internationally joint research center for advanced
materials technology. In 2009, WUT-Harvard Joint Key Laboratory was set up with Dr. Charles M. Lieber,
professor of Harvard University, in ventor of international nano materials and fellow of American Academy
of Science as the director. In 2010, Thermometric Materials Research Team of WUT Entered China-US
Clean Energy Joint Research Center.
By inheriting the history and culture of the former three universities, WUT has always been adhering to
the guiding principle of "Educating People First, Prioritizing Academic Advancements" and the motto of
