TheInternational Joint Research Center of Structural Optimization Theory and Applications, approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) in September2013, is a national base for global scientific and technological cooperation.Relyingon Mechanics, one of the national first-levelkey disciplines,and DUT's State Key Laboratory of Analysis for Industrial Equipment, theCenter boasts sophisticated scientific research and teaching faculties including academicians of the CAS and CAE, fellows of the National Academy of Engineering of Korea (NAEK), foreign academicians of Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), global high-level professionals, distinguished professors of Changjiang Scholars, winners of National Science Foundation for Distinguished Young Scholars, and 973 chief scientists.
Takingscientific demand ofnationaland international frontier disciplines into account, theCenter has made achievements with its own characteristics in such fields as advanced theories andalgorithmicresearch of the structural optimization, symplectic theories and methods for mechanical analysis of complex structural systems, integrated development platforms for structure analysis and optimization, the application of structural optimization theory and method in engineering structures of major equipment. It has won National Prize for Natural Sciences, National Award for Technological Invention and other major awards. With national first-rate comprehensive strength and level of scholarship in terms of structural optimization, the Center takes the lead in global academia and was named "excellent" by the National Center for Science and Technology Evaluation in 2020.In addition, it has explored more avenues to exchange with more than 50 world top-level research organizations from over 17 countries, including the Technical University of Denmark, Korea Advance Institute of Science and Technology, the University of Oxford and the Lomonosov Moscow State University. It has achieved remarkable gains through joint school-running, talent cultivation, exchanges of visits, and project cooperation, which underpins the structural optimization and innovative designs of major industrial equipment of the state.
