On the morning of September 29th, the Guangzhou International Campus of South China University of Technology held its first opening ceremony.
Guangzhou International Campus is a “very unusual” campus. First, it is a state-level campus jointly developed by the Ministry of Education, the People’s Government of Guangdong Province, the People’s Government of Guangzhou Municipality and SCUT. Since the signing of the four-party agreement on March 15th, 2017, GZIC has been committed to becoming a demonstration pilot zone for the internationalization of higher education in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Second, the construction of GZIC creates an amazing “Guangzhou Speed”. The campus held its groundbreaking ceremony on May 9th, 2018, and was started to construct on August 16th. The construction of the first-phase project was completed on August 20th this year. Within just 369 days, an elegant and international campus with both Chinese and western features was completed. Third, the campus joins hands with world-class universities to build a scientificandtechnologicalinnovation engine, bringing together with a group of high-level talents and international academic masters of strong scientific research capabilities.
