Chinese Academy of Science introduction

The Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (GSCAS), formerly as the Graduate School of University of Science & Technology of China, was founded in 1978 under the approval of the State Council, and was given the present name in 2000 under the approval of the Degree Committee of State Council and the Ministry of Education.
GSCAS is the first graduate school in China, serving as the base for CAS to cultivate advanced scientific and technical talents, with the responsibility of presenting talent resources for CAS knowledge innovation project as well as for national modernization. GSCAS is striving to become a worldwide famous and modernized graduate school, with the largest-scale graduate cultivation nationwide, and top-ranked educational conditions and campus environments in Asia.
Of the 12 major subjects in China, 7 have been offered in CSCAS. At present, the school grants master degrees for 119 disciplines, and doctoral degrees for 103 disciplines (including 23 primary disciplines). A total of 102 postdoctoral mobile stations have been set up in branch schools throughout the nation.
With a view to the development of CAS in the following 20 years, CSCAS will try to maintain the predominance of CAS on basic disciplines of natural sciences, strengthen applied disciplines such as advanced technology, and new, cross disciplines, and develop moderately the disciplines of humanity and social sciences such as economic management, business administration, scientific and technical English. CSCAS will have around 34 primary disciplines granting doctoral degrees.
CSCAS has an excellent faculty of appropriate knowledge and age structure, with more than 300 members of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Engineering, more than 2000 supervisors for doctoral candidates, and more than 4500 professors or researchers devoting themselves to the education of graduate candidates.
CAS has great predominance on a number of subjects in natural sciences such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography and biology, and subjects in technology sciences such as mechanics, materials, energy, electronic information, automatic control, scientific technology on computer, and biological engineering. CAS has a great group of academic leaders and graduate supervisors who are of great academic achievements, and well known nationwide and overseas. CAS has research projects of international academic frontiers and meeting national strategic needs. In addition, CAS is well equipped with research facility, and has rich national and international academic exchange approaches and cultural environments of encouraging innovation. Thus, CSCAS has the great ability of supervising the CADAL project. Professor Gao Wen, the executive vice-president and specialist on computer technology, is the initiator and top scientist of the Project.
