FUDAN'S WORLDVIEW

A Shanghai university is leveraging its international partnerships to help promote human progress at home and abroad, Cao Chen reports.

Last October, Shanghai released its action plan to serve as a pioneer in the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative. The next month, Fudan University set up the Institute of Belt and Road and Global Governance.

Fudan University, as one of China's top universities, has considered it a major responsibility to serve as a think tank to assist national strategies and facilitate international understanding as it strives to build itself into a world-class institute of excellence, according to the university management.
