This book explores the pathways for Nanjing Tech University to develop into a world-class institution, while reflecting on broader issues in higher education. The book aims to distill insights from the author's extensive experience in academia and university administration (spanning institutions like Peking University, National University of Singapore, and Nanjing Tech). It focuses on Nanjing Tech's strategies, including its pursuit of being 'comprehensive, research-oriented, and globalized,' and addresses key aspects such as educational philosophy, disciplinary development, talent cultivation, innovation, internationalization, and team building.Covering materials from 2012 to 2015 — including speeches, lectures, and essays — the scope encompasses diverse themes: moral education, institutional reform, collaborative innovation, talent recruitment, and the integration of academia with industry. It also reflects on the university's historical legacy, current challenges, and aspirations, offering a holistic view of its efforts to enhance academic excellence, social impact, and global standing. Ultimately, the book serves as a record of Nanjing Tech's growth and an exploration of universal principles in higher education development.The book will showcase China's progress and achievements in its transition from a major player in higher education to a global leader in the field. It introduces the philosophy of building a socialist higher education system with Chinese characteristics, promotes traditional Chinese culture and contemporary Chinese values worldwide, and facilitates mutual learning between Chinese and international higher education concepts as well as cultural and civilizational exchanges, thus contributing ultimately to building a global community with a shared future for mankind.
