Guangdong Technion-Israel Institute of Technology (GTIIT) is a Sino-foreign cooperative university with independent legal personality jointly run by the world-renowned Technion-Israel Institute of Technology (Technion) and Shantou University (STU). It is the only Sino-foreign cooperative university in science and engineering in my country and the Chinese campus of Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. It is located in Shantou City, Guangdong Province. GTIIT was officially established on December 5, 2016 with the approval of the Ministry of Education of China. It started to recruit students in 2017. It is the first Sino-foreign cooperative university with independent legal personality in my country that has introduced high-quality higher education resources from Israel. It is also a representative project of cooperation between my country and Israel in the field of education. Its construction has been highly valued by the two governments, and fully supported by the People's Government of Guangdong Province, the People's Government of Shantou City and the Li Ka Shing Foundation. GTIIT will strive to build itself into a high-level, internationalized university of science and engineering research, comprehensively introduce high-quality educational resources from the world-renowned Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, carry out educational and teaching innovation, and cultivate outstanding engineers and scientific and technological talents with innovative ability, global vision and humanistic qualities.
