Notice of the 2019 XMU Nanqiang Young Scholars Forum
Xiamen University (XMU) was founded by the patriotic overseas Chinese leader Mr. Tan Kah Kee in 1921. XMU is a high-standard university on the State’s “211 Project” and “985 Project”, included into the State’s list of Category A institutions for building world-class universities. Two collaborative innovation centers established by XMU in partnership with other universities have been accredited for inclusion into the State’s “2011 Program”. XMU is in the top ranks of Chinese universities in terms of the Nature index and is ranked by ESI among the global top 1% in 15 subjects. Moreover, XMU was one of China’s first 20 universities with government-granted autonomy in conferring academic degrees.
Upon its inception, XMU set building a “global university” as its goal and embarked on a relentless quest for scholastic excellence. Its enduring heritage and proud traditions inspire its faculty and students to strive for excellence. Committed to the notions that “faculty is of paramount importance” and “faculty should be treated with the utmost sincerity and rewarded with generous renumeration”, XMU has drawn high-caliber faculty from around the world. Many eminent scholars, including Lu Xun, Lu Jiaxi, Wang Ya’nan and Chen Jingrun, once worked or studied at XMU. Over the past 98 years, XMU has developed into a high-standard research university of international repute, offering a comprehensive range of programs and recognized for its cutting-edge research.
A beautiful, inclusive and sustainable coastal city, Xiamen welcomes guests from all continents. XMU is looking forward to welcoming distinguished young scholars from around the world to Xiamen, a city dubbed “the Garden on the City” for its enchanting scenery and pleasant climate.
