Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) is inviting applications for its prestigious 2025 LCC Summer School on Carbon Neutrality. As part of a broader educational initiative, this program aligns with SJTU's commitment to advancing knowledge and skills related to sustainable development.

Founded in 1896, SJTU is recognized globally as one of China’s leading universities, offering exceptional education, cutting-edge research, and exerting a significant global impact. The institution serves as a dynamic hub for fostering innovation and intellectual growth.

The German Center at SJTU, established in the 1980s, was originally created to support German language instruction and facilitate exchanges with Germany. Over the years, it has evolved to play a critical role in enhancing connections between SJTU and German institutions.

As part of its transformation under the 'Global SJTU' initiative, the German Center has embraced four key functions: promoting collaborative innovation, integrating with SJTU initiatives, facilitating connections and exchanges, and acting as a regional hub for outreach. These strategic pillars are crucial for deepening partnerships and collaboration.

In 2023, the German Center saw significant advancements with the launch of its Munich branch, which offers essential teaching and logistical support. This expansion signifies SJTU's growing commitment to fostering educational ties and cooperative efforts between China and Germany.

Moreover, the German Center is actively expanding its mobile classroom initiative, which aims to enhance educational outreach in Germany. Additionally, it serves as the secretariat for the Ministry of Education’s Sino-German Innovation Consortium, focusing on collaboration between academic and industrial sectors.

SJTU is also focused on empowering talent through its innovative development strategies. By cultivating a unique faculty development model, the university aims to attract and retain top academic talent, reinforcing its reputation for excellence in research and education.

As an extension of SJTU’s educational and research objectives, the SJTU Asia-Pacific Graduate Institute (SJTU-APGI) serves as a platform for international collaboration. Its overarching goal is to integrate resources and innovate educational systems, thereby expanding global opportunities.

Located in the heart of Shanghai, SJTU is not just an educational institution; it is a vibrant community that encourages the pursuit of knowledge and innovation. Its energetic campus life and academic prestige position it as a launchpad for future global leaders.

Those interested in joining the Summer School program are encouraged to apply and become a part of SJTU's transformative educational journey, contributing to the global effort toward carbon neutrality.
