On August 25, the SJTU Paris Elite Institute of Technology (SPEIT) welcomed more than 100 new undergraduate students from the Class of 2026.

Recently, the national finals of the 19th National College Students Social Practice and Science Contest on Energy Saving & Emission Reduction successfully concluded. The project “Decoupled Hydrogen Production · Multifaceted Smart Integration: Low-Energy, Low-Cost Hydrogen Production by Water Electrolysis Based on a Membrane-Free Decoupled System” from the SJTU Paris Elite Institute of Technology (SPEIT) of Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) won the second prize! 🎉🎉🎉

After the first week of language classes and the visits of the engineering schools, the "Paris Vibes, Global Exploration" summer program team moved on to the next phase of their study and exploration. During the last two weeks, the students took courses at Aivancity, a French AI and data science school, and at the Paris School of Luxury. They also visited UNESCO. Through specialized classes, cross-cultural teamwork, and exploring the city on foot, they continued to develop their global competence.

On July 21, Liu Weidong, Vice President of Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), met with Yassine Lakhnech, President of Université Grenoble Alpes, and his delegation at the Minhang Campus. Chen Cailian, Chinese Dean of SJTU Paris Elite Institute of Technology (SPEIT), and representatives from SJTU’s Office of International Cooperation and Exchange attended the meeting. The two sides exchanged views on expanding areas of cooperation, improving multi-level joint talent development mechanisms, and promoting interdisciplinary collaboration.

Recently, the final of the 11th Young Teachers Teaching Competition of Shanghai Jiao Tong University took place. Following preliminary selections organized by each school and department, 49 young teachers from 28 instituts were selected to compete in teaching proficiency. After intense competition in the final round, Professor Qiu Siqi from the Information Engineering programme at SJTU Paris Elite Institute of Technology won the Third Prize in the Applied Natural Sciences Group.

On July 23, 2026, in the local time, the quadrennial International Congress of Mathematicians opened in Philadelphia, United States. Chinese mathematician Wang Hong was awarded the 2026 Fields Medal, marking a historic breakthrough for mathematics in China. A review of Fields Medalist Wang Hong’s academic path brings into focus three formative years of study in France, from 2011 to 2014. In 2014, she earned an engineering degree from École Polytechnique and a master’s degree in mathematics from Paris-Sud University (now Université Paris-Saclay). École Polytechnique and Paris-Saclay University are respectively the French partner institution and in-depth collaborative partner of the SJTU Paris Elite Institute of Engineering.

 On July 5, SJTU Paris Elite Institute of Technology (SPEIT) jointly organized an alumni exchange event with the Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) Beijing Alumni Association. Representatives from the SJTU Beijing Alumni Association, SPEIT alumni based in Beijing, faculty members of SPEIT, and current students gathered to discuss topics including alumni resource collaboration, talent cultivation, and career development. The event strengthened alumni connections and provided an opportunity to exchange ideas on the future development of SPEIT.

Recently, the PandaX Collaboration led by Shanghai Jiao Tong University has achieved important progress in the experimental investigation of neutrino and dark matter self-interactions. Using xenon-136 double beta decay data collected by the PandaX-4T liquid xenon detector, the collaboration imposed direct experimental constraints on neutrino self-interactions mediated by light scalar particles, attaining the world’s tightest experimental limits in the mass range of 0.8–2 MeV. The relevant findings, titled Probing Scalar-Neutrino and Scalar-Dark-Matter Interactions with PandaX-4T, have been published in Physical Review Letters (PRL), a top-tier journal in physics. SJTU serves as the primary affiliation of this work.

On the afternoon of June 26, the SJTU Paris Elite Institute of Technology (SPEIT) of Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) convened its 27th Joint Management Committee Meeting in a hybrid format, combining both online and in-person participation.

To further implement the fundamental mission of fostering virtue through education and encourage graduating students to strengthen their ideals and convictions, cultivate a strong sense of patriotism, and shoulder the responsibilities of their generation, SPEIT held a Departure Preparation Ceremony for the 2026 graduating class on June 17.

On June 18, the 3rd Sino–France Future Industry Cooperation Forum, themed “Shaping a New Vision for Future Industries and Building a New Industrial Ecosystem Together,” was held in Nanjing. The forum was jointly organized by the International Economic and Technical Cooperation Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and the Nanjing Investment Promotion Bureau, and hosted by the Electronics Information Industry Sub-Council of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade and the Alliance Industrie du Futur.

Electroencephalography (EEG) signals are extremely subtle, yet they contain a wealth of information. They may be associated with emotional changes, help reveal how the brain processes semantics, and potentially support future applications such as brain-computer interfaces, intelligent rehabilitation, and human-machine interaction. However, enabling machines to truly understand EEG signals remains challenging. Significant variations exist across individuals, scenarios, and tasks, making it difficult for traditional models to generalize effectively.
