In recent years, SEM has consistently regarded the application for competitive research grants as a key priority, carrying out systematic and well-organized research activities. These efforts have significantly enhanced faculty research capacity and laid a solid foundation for the successful approval of major projects. Looking ahead, the School will continue to strengthen organized research, improve research cultivation and incentive mechanisms, and contribute more intellectual insights to the University’s Double First-Class initiative.
