Welcome to WCU-4
In the past decade,
the term “world-class university” has become a catchphrase. Not simply because
it represents excellence in teaching and research, but more importantly because
it also signifies university’s capacity to compete in the age of global higher
education marketplace. Consequently, many national governments have developed
policies and special initiatives to promote and support the creation of
“world-class university”, and an increasing number of universities have
included becoming “world-class” in their mission statements and have begun
implementing various measures.
It is in the above
mentioned context that the 1st International Conference on World-Class
Universities (WCU-1) was initiated and organized in June 2005 by the Center for
World-Class Universities of Shanghai
Jiao Tong
University. Subsequently,
the 2nd and 3rd International Conference on World-Class Universities (WCU-2 and
WCU-3) were convened in 2007 and 2009 respectively. These conferences have
attracted hundreds of participants, including university presidents, government
officials, top scholars and policy researchers, from more than 40 countries.
Contributions to previous WCU conferences are indexed in Conference Proceedings

The Center for
World-Class Universities of Shanghai Jiao Tong University is pleased to
announce that the 4th International Conference on World-Class Universities
(WCU-4) will be held from October 30 to November 2, 2011 in Shanghai, China
