INTRODUCTION
Interdisciplinarity is the main characteristic of modern scientific and technological development. With the accelerated evolution of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, new disciplines continue to emerge; the trend of integrating different disciplines is unstoppable and there is an urgent need for innovative, interdisciplinary, and applied talents. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council attach great importance to interdisciplinary development. Since 2021, the Ministry of Education have issued the “Interdisciplinary Setting and Management Measures”. It is a major undertaking for the construction of world-class universities and first-class disciplines. The development of interdisciplinary study can help build the national scientific and technological strength, cultivate technical and creative talents for the future, and thus enhance the national scientific and technological power.
In 2021, GEC Academy and Shanghai Jiaotong University built a Joint Research Center of Innovative Design for Interdisciplinary Studies and successfully applied for the opening ceremony forum of the “2022 China-ASEAN Education Exchange Week” together with SJTU to promote the interdisciplinary research and development in China. In the 2022 China Annual Conference for International Education (CACIE), GEC will hold the “Interdisciplinary Innovative Talent Cultivation Forum”, inviting leading education experts of preeminent higher education institutions at home and abroad to share their experience in cultivating interdisciplinary talents and to discuss the new ideas and models of interdisciplinary innovation and development in the context of internationalization.
