Founded in Shanghai in October 1951, East China Normal University (ECNU) is one of China's top research universities. Directly under the Ministry of Education and sponsored by the national key university programs—"Project 211" and "Project 985"—the university is renowned for its teacher training and high-level research programs in both basic and applied sciences. Adhering to the strategy of pursuing interdisciplinary development, internationalization, and informatization, ECNU has made great achievements in talent training, scientific research, community service and international exchanges in the past few decades. In 2017, ECNU was selected into Class A of the Double First Class Program (First Class University and First Class Academic Discipline in the World), an education initiative launched by the Ministry of Education aiming at developing elite Chinese universities into world-class institutions by the end of 2050. With the five action plans, i.e. Education+, Ecology+, Health+, AI+ and Internationalization+ as the petals, the university is working hard to forge the Flower of Happiness, ECNU's recently formulated university development initiative. With all these efforts, ECNU intends to fulfill its vision of "Creativity, Character and Community".
