To deeply implement the strategy of accelerating the construction of an international faculty team at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, from June 10th to 11th, 2025, Professor Chen Cailian, Chinese Dean of SPEIT, Professor Zhong Shengyi, Vice Dean, and Sun Chenye, Dean's Assistant, visited Hong Kong and successfully held five young scholars exchange meetings at City University of Hong Kong, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, The University of Hong Kong, and The Chinese University of Hong Kong. The events attracted more than 100 outstanding doctoral students and young scholars.

At the SJTU Paris Elite Institute of Technology (SPEIT), a group of students have made steady progress in mathematical and physical studies, then achieved remarkable breakthroughs in scientific research. For example, Huang Siyuan, a second-year master's student at SPEIT, has consecutively published four papers as the first author in top artificial intelligence conferences such as NeurIPS 2023 and NeurIPS 2024. Graduated from Shanghai High School in 2019, Huang Siyuan entered SPEIT for integrated bachelor-master studies and once pursued a double degree at École Polytechnique. Currently, he is part of the LUMIA team at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, under the supervision of Associate Professor Lin Zhouhan from the School of Artificial Intelligence, and interning at the Seed Department of ByteDance. In this interview, Huang Siyuan shares the stories behind his academic papers.

On the morning of June 6th, the SJTU Paris Elite Institute of Technology (SPEIT) successfully held its second Quality Enhancement Committee meeting to optimize talent development and integrate Chinese and French engineering education standards.

From teacher-student exchanges to student activities, he builds bridges of understanding through communication;

From the banks of the Huangpu River to the banks of the Seine, he listens to the symphony of cultures with inclusivity.

He weaves dreams with ideals; he explores directions through practice.

The encouragement of classmates is his driving force; the care of teachers helps him set sail.

On May 25, 2025, Lei Xuanwu, a first-year student from SPEIT, shone at the 12th Shanghai Science Popularization Contest hosted by the Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission. With her presentation "The Scientific Marvel of Neutrons," she emerged victorious among 1,212 citywide contestants, claiming the Shanghai First Prize and the title of "2025 Shanghai Top 10 Science Communicator."

In the spring semester of 2025, the French culture volunteer teaching program of the SJTU Paris Elite Institute of Technology (SPEIT) resumed its activities. SPEIT teachers and students visited Minhang Wujing Experimental Primary School and Shenghua Zizhu Bilingual School, delivering a series of extraordinary French culture courses to young students.

Teachers and students meticulously designed courses such as "A Day in Paris," "A Magical Night at the Louvre," and "Between Light and Shadow," covering French history, art, cuisine, music, and language knowledge. These courses opened a window to French culture for the children.

At noon on June 5th, the lobby on the first floor of the SJTU Paris Elite Institute of Technology (SPEIT) was bustling with activity. A safety knowledge challenge blending fun and learning was in full swing. Teachers and students participated in fun games, interacting and learning about safety in a relaxed atmosphere, thereby strengthening their safety awareness.

On May 26, 2025, a delegation from the French Inspection Générale de l'Éducation, du Sport et de la Recherche (IGÉSR) conducted a one-day teaching quality inspection at SJTU Paris Elite Institute of Technology (SPEIT).
