East China University of Science and Technology, formerly known as East China Institute of Chemical Technology, was established in 1952 by merging the chemical engineering departments of Jiaotong University (Shanghai), Aurora University (Shanghai), Datong University (Shanghai), Soochow University (Suzhou), and Jiangnan University (Wuxi). It is the first higher education institution in New China known for its chemical engineering specialty. In 1956, it was designated as one of the first batch of schools in the country to recruit graduate students. In 1960, it was designated as a national key university directly under the Ministry of Education by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. In 1993, it was approved by the State Education Commission to be renamed East China University of Science and Technology. In 1996, it entered the ranks of the national "211 Project" key construction. In 2000, it was approved by the Ministry of Education to establish a graduate school. In 2008, it was approved to build the "985 Project Advantage Discipline Innovation Platform". In 2017, it was selected as a national "Double First-Class" construction university, and three disciplines of chemistry, materials science and engineering, and chemical engineering and technology were selected in the list of first-class disciplines. The university currently has two campuses in Xuhui and Fengxian, covering a total area of 2,127 acres, with a total building area of 930,000 square meters and a total library collection of 3.54 million books. It has established national metrology certification units such as the Analysis and Testing Center and the Jewelry Testing Center. The school has won the honorary title of "Civilized Unit (Campus)" in Shanghai for 13 consecutive times. The school has 17 colleges, and the subject settings cover 12 disciplines including science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, economics, management, literature, law, art, philosophy, education, and cross-disciplinary disciplines. There are 67 undergraduate majors (including 4 Sino-foreign cooperative majors and 1 second bachelor's degree major); 31 first-level discipline master's degree authorization points and 17 master's professional degree authorization points; 18 first-level discipline doctoral degree authorization points and 5 doctoral professional degree authorization points; 16 postdoctoral research mobile stations. It has 8 national key disciplines, 10 Shanghai key disciplines, and 7 first-class disciplines in Shanghai universities. It has 41 national first-class undergraduate professional construction points and 6 Shanghai first-class undergraduate professional construction points. "Chemical Engineering and Technology" is the first major in mainland China to pass the ABET certification, and "Chemistry" is the first major in mainland China to pass the Sino-Russian joint international science major certification. All majors of the business school have passed the business education certification of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). 19 majors including Chemical Engineering and Technology have passed the engineering education professional certification. Ten disciplines including chemistry, materials science, engineering, biology and biochemistry, pharmacology and toxicology, agricultural science, computer science, environmental science and ecology, clinical medicine, and general social sciences are among the top 1% in the world in ESI, and chemistry and engineering are among the top 1‰ in the world. The school currently has more than 16,000 full-time undergraduate students and more than 15,000 master's and doctoral students. There are nearly 3,000 faculty and staff, including 11 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, 1 academician of the European Academy of Sciences, 1 academician of the Russian Academy of Engineering, and more than 140 national talents such as winners of the National Outstanding Young Scientist Fund; there are 3 national teaching masters, 4 national teaching teams, and 2 Huang Danian-style teaching teams; there are 11 high-level innovation teams such as the National Natural Science Foundation Innovation Research Group and the Ministry of Science and Technology Key Field Innovation Team, and a large number of young and middle-aged scholars have emerged. The school adheres to the socialist direction of running schools, fully implements the fundamental task of cultivating people with moral integrity, and cultivates socialist builders and successors with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor.

A large number of major innovative achievements have been achieved, with nearly 3,000 valid patents at home and abroad. The university has a national university science and technology park. It is one of the first six universities in the country to establish a national technology transfer center. It has been selected as the National Intellectual Property Information Service Center, the National Intellectual Property Demonstration University, the Shanghai University Intellectual Property Operation Center, the University Science and Technology Achievement Transformation and Technology Transfer Base, and the first batch of pilot units for the construction of specialized national technology transfer institutions in universities. The large-scale industrialization and promotion of a number of common and key technologies in the industry have produced significant economic and social benefits. The school is benchmarked against the world's first-class, facing social needs, and has built an all-round, wide-ranging, and multi-level opening-up and exchange situation. It has established close and friendly long-term cooperative relations with more than 170 world-renowned universities and research institutions outside the country.
