Tianjin University was awarded the Outstanding Organization Award at the “China Postgraduate Innovation and Practice Competition” conference held in April at the Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications.

It aims to develop a cooperative innovation platform for schools and enterprises, create a good atmosphere for postgraduate innovation, enhance the ability of postgraduates to practice innovative research, and improve the quality of postgraduate education. The Competition includes nine thematic events such as the National Graduate Mathematical Modeling Contest and the China Graduate Electronic Design Contest. Since it was first held in 2013, it has become an influential, nationwide graduate student competition.

Since the founding of the competition, Tianjin University has actively participated and organized graduate student teams every year. TJU also successfully hosted the Eleventh National Graduate Mathematics Modeling Contest in 2014.
