Located on the west coast of the Pacific, Fudan University lies in Shanghai, the most dynamic metropolis in China, which recently succeeded in the bidding to hold the 2010 World Expo. We are anticipating with people in Beijing, the host city of 2008 Olympic Games, and in other parts of China for the two coming events to introduce a better China to the world and our aspiration for innovation and civilization.

As one of the top universities in China, Fudan always adheres to its motto "Rich in knowledge and tenacious of purpose; inquiring with earnestness and reflecting with self-practice" with our efforts of education and innovation. In the academic, research and international activities, we try to realize three "I"s, namely, "Information, Internationalization, and Inter-discipline".

At the threshold of a new century, Fudan has set its goal of building a first-class university in the world. We hope to boost the development of the university by accumulating valuable experiences and advices through the exchanges with universities at home and abroad.

Facing the future, we are confident. I believe, with the spirit of "Patriotism, Devotion, Down-to-earthness, and Creativity", we will have a more brilliant prospect!

President of Fudan
Wang Shenghong
