Nanjing University has in recent years attached great importance to problem-solving in its scientific and technological work and has kept an eye on the international academic frontiers and the major needs of the country.
The university has carried out several innovation programs such as the “10-100-1000 Program for Scientific and Technological Innovation” and the “Program for Educating and Training Outstanding Engineers (PETOE),” and researchers in many areas of study have been striving to overcome some core scientific and technological difficulties with their innovative research findings.
This problem-oriented approach has made important contributions to building the Nanjing University in a new era and building Jiangsu into an innovation-driven province.
