Gathering Outstanding Overseas Talents, Innovating to Lead the Future

Introduction

The prosperity of an enterprise stems from the abundance of talent, and with the gathering of talents, the enterprise flourishes. The Third Talent Work Conference of Tianjin University conveyed the university’s determination to “deeply implement the strategy of strengthening the university with talents and accelerate the advancement of building a world-class university.” By adhering to the principle of “strengthening the university through talent,” the university actively recruits and cultivates talents, creating an environment where everyone can succeed and fully utilize their strengths.

Universities prosper in connection with cities, and cities flourish because of universities. Tianjin University, in collaboration with the Tianjin Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security, the Tianjin Municipal Education Commission, and the Binhai New Area, is building a hub for scientific and technological innovation. While reserving a world-class faculty, it is also dedicated to attracting talent and wisdom for Tianjin’s universities and high-tech enterprises.

A prosperous nation is built on the foundation of talent; national rejuvenation is led by the brightest minds. Tianjin University is proud to announce the 16th Peiyang Young Scientist Forum and the 2024 Tianjin University High-Level Forum for University Faculty, Postdoctoral Fellows, and Strategic Emerging Industry Talents in the Binhai New Area.
