This four-week summer program includes projects such as the Chinese language and multicultural practices, hands-on training in cutting-edge electronic information engineering technologies, future low-carbon technologies and energy, new energy materials, management and innovation, Chinese traditional culture and classical humanistic aesthetics, Chinese kung fu, and high school exchanges.

The participants come from more than 70 overseas BIT partner universities, including the National University of Singapore, the University of California, Riverside, the University of Bristol, Technische Universität Berlin, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid in Spain, Kosygin State University of Russia, and the University of Technology Sydney.

With this program, students can not only enhance their professional knowledge through specialized courses, innovation and entrepreneurship training, as well as industrial field investigations, but also experience the charm of Chinese traditional culture and China's development and social progress through cultural experience courses and outings.
