ECUST provides a rich example of Sino-German educational cooperation

As an active response to a national appeal to promote educational cooperation and resource exchanges between China and other countries, the Sino-German College of Technology was set up by Shanghai's East China University of Science and Technology in November 2003.

"Our college is a comprehensive college of engineering devoted to developing frontier science based on multi-subject penetration and intersections, as well as international cooperation," according to a college official.

After years of development and improvement, the college has to date worked closely with about 20 German universities to provide students with world-leading research methods and advanced facilities for pioneer frontiers.
