The Institute for New Rural Development of Tongji University was formally approved and established by the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Education in December 2013. Guided by the scientific outlook on development and the 18th National Congress of the People's Republic of China, which advocates the construction of a new type of industrialization, informatization, urbanization and modernization of agriculture, it gives full play to Tongji University's advantages in science, education and talents in agricultural engineering, construction of new rural habitat, rural planning and architecture, rural ecological environment, etc., and actively explores new models and new mechanisms for serving new rural construction. Gradually establish a comprehensive service model based on the Institute for New Rural Development, combining agriculture, science and education, promoting cooperation between industry, academia and research, reforming research and teaching models and institutional innovation, establishing service bases based on various forms of village and township services and cross-regional, cross-disciplinary information network service platforms, promoting resource sharing and the close integration of government, industry, academia, research and application, forming a "diversified, multi-faceted, interdisciplinary and interdisciplinary" service platform. With the operation mechanism and service mode of "open, comprehensive and efficient", it will be built into a treasure house of technologies and talents to drive and lead the development of new rural construction and urbanization in Shanghai and the Yangtze River Delta region, an important think tank for macro-decision-making on national "three rural areas" and urbanization issues, and an important think tank for the development of new socialist rural areas and urbanization. Contribute to the cause.
