Under the impact of economic globalization, knowledge economy and subversive information technology, the universities, education and teaching are facing fundamental transformation. The State Council issued “The Development of "National Education Plan" in the 13th Five-Year” points that, we should deepen the reform of undergraduate education and teaching, especially the implementation of the "student centered" heuristic, collaborative, participatory research and seminar-based learning method, and strengthen the personalized training. Obviously, under the encouragement of national policies, the transition from "teacher centered" to "student centered" in college teaching will usher in new opportunities for reform. The aim of Annual Meeting on Innovation in Higher Education is just to gather people who are interested in reform of Higher Education, and who have ideas and will to practice in this era of fundamental change of Higher Education to agglomerate reform consensus, to explore reform path, to share reform experience, and to achieve reform cooperation.
The Annual Meeting will be held annually, including a series of activities such as keynote speeches, high-end forums, seminar workshops and innovative practice exhibitions. Meanwhile, every year during the Annual Meeting, we will update "Construction Guide of Student-centered University Education System" produced by Institute of Leadership and Education Advanced Development (ILEAD) of XJTLU and the ILEAD Index that measures the quality of education in domestic universities, and we will award the Annual Universities Teaching Innovation Award which is aimed at encouraging university teaching innovation; we will also publicly publish the first domestic "University Teaching Innovation’s Case Set" created by ILEAD.
The “2017 the 2nd Annual Meeting on Higher Education Innovation and the 4th HuiHu Higher Education internationalization Forum” takes “reshaping undergraduate education: constructing a "student centered" education system" as its theme; under the situations that “The 13th Five-year “ Plan has been published and that the “double first-class” construction is about to fully start, we invite university presidents, managers, front-line teachers and experts who are active at the forefront of undergraduate education both at home and abroad to share how to construct a first-class undergraduate education through the "double first-class". In the era of that global universities are all rethinking how to improve undergraduate education radically, the full start of China's "double first-class" construction will bring great opportunities for domestic universities to rebuild their undergraduate education.
