We work together with one heart and one mind to help people and benefit the world! Tongji University has a long history and outstanding reputation. It is one of the earliest national universities in China and a national key university directly under the Ministry of Education and jointly established with Shanghai City. After 116 years of development, Tongji University has become a comprehensive, research-oriented and international university with distinctive characteristics and great influence at home and abroad. Its comprehensive strength ranks among the top universities in China. The school began as Tongji German Medical School founded in 1907 by German doctor Erich Baolong with the support of the Chinese and German governments and all walks of life. In 1912, together with the newly founded Tongji Dewen Medical and Engineering School, it was collectively known as Tongji Dewen Medical and Engineering School. It was taken over by the Chinese in 1917 and was renamed Tongji Medical and Engineering School and the private Tongji Medical and Engineering College. It was named Tongji University in 1923 and became a national university in 1927. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, Tongji University moved six times to Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Guangxi, Yunnan and other places. In 1940, it moved to Lizhuang Ancient Town, Yibin, Sichuan, where it continued to operate. After moving back to Shanghai in 1946, it developed into a comprehensive university famous for its five faculties of science, engineering, medicine, liberal arts and law. During the nationwide restructuring of departments that began in 1949, Tongji University’s original advantageous disciplines such as liberal arts, law, medicine, science, mechanics, electrical machinery, shipbuilding, and surveying and mapping were either supported by other universities or relocated to the mainland as a whole. At the same time, civil engineering and construction-related disciplines from more than 10 universities across the country have converged on Tongji, making it the largest engineering university with the most comprehensive disciplines in the field of civil engineering and construction in China. After 1978, the school implemented "two transformations" - the restoration of exchanges with Germany, the transformation from a closed school to an open school, and the expansion of the scope of disciplines from an engineering university focusing on civil engineering to a comprehensive university focusing on science and engineering. In 1996, Shanghai Urban Construction College and Shanghai Building Materials Industry College were merged and listed as a national “211 Project” construction university. In 2000, it merged with Shanghai Railway University to form the new Tongji University. In 2002, it was listed as a national “985 Project” construction university. In 2003, Shanghai Aviation Industry School was placed under the management of Tongji University. In 2004, it was listed as a central management university. In 2017, it was listed as a national world-class university construction Category A university.

Observation System", the first domestically benchmarked "National Key Laboratory of Autonomous Intelligent Unmanned Systems" and the Ministry of Education's "Cell Stemness and Destiny Editing Frontier Science Center" are a number of major scientific research platforms. It has successively undertaken a series of major national special projects and major engineering scientific research projects, and has achieved key technologies for large-span bridges, structural earthquake resistance and disaster prevention technologies, remote sensing spatial information, intelligent induction of urban traffic, localized smart greenhouses, new energy vehicle research and development, and urban sewage treatment. , ocean drilling, molecular genetics of atrial fibrillation and other landmark scientific research achievements. The school has long focused on leveraging the spillover effects of its superior disciplines and basic research, constantly expanding the forms and fields of social services, actively contributing to national and local social construction and development, and providing services to the “Belt and Road” construction, domestic bridges and tunnels, railways and urban rail transit. , water environment management, earthquake relief, Yangshan Deep Water Port, Shanghai World Expo, Chongming Ecological Island, Xiongan New Area, Beijing Sub-center and other major strategic needs provide strong scientific and technological support. The school and the local government jointly promote the construction of the "Tongji Environmental Knowledge Economic Circle" and are moving towards the goal of annual output value of 100 billion, creating a model model of "three-district integration and linked development" school-local cooperation. The school actively expands international cooperation.
