About the Symposium
GIFT International Symposium on Future Technologies, hosted by Global Institute of Future Technology (GIFT) of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, will be held on Oct. 14-15, 2023. The symposium provides an academic platform for young scholars around the world to exchange ideas on their latest research, to interact and collaborate with each other, and to find inspirations in the rapidly-evolving technological fields. Seminars in the symposium focus on interdisciplinary and emerging research areas of the future, including (but not limited to) sustainable energy, health science and technology, smart manufacturing, artificial intelligence, etc. Outstanding young scholars (senior Ph.D. students and above) participating in this symposium are encouraged to pursue collaborations with our faculty members or join us to start your new career in this exciting place.
Symposium dates：Oct. 14-15, 2023 (UTC/GMT +8)

About GIFT
Global Institute of Future Technology (GIFT hereafter) at Shanghai Jiao Tong University is one of the first 12 Institutes of Future Technology established by the Ministry of Education of China. Founded on August 19, 2021, GIFT is committed to building an internationally influential faculty, creating a cutting-edge interdisciplinary teaching and research platform, and cultivating innovative scientific and technological leaders who can address global challenges and contribute to future development.
GIFT manages endowment funds of more than 200 million US dollars. With strong public and university support, we will rapidly expand our faculty, including high-level hiring (e.g. NAE/NAS members and Fellows of multiple professional societies). In addition to the current working space in the Yue-Kong Pao Library’s East Wing, GIFT’s new building will be completed within 2025 for 60,000 square meters.
