There are 40 research institutions in humanities and social sciences, such as Changzhou Research Center, Qu Qiubai Research Center and SME Research Institute.
Adhering to the school philosophy of "let everyone be creative and apply what they have learned", the school spirit of "unity, preciseness, realism and innovation" and the school motto of "teaching students to learn well and be positive", the school has optimized and designed the talent training system as a whole, actively explored new mechanisms, new ways and new methods for talent training with deep integration of teaching and student work, and strived to create an all-round and all-round educational environment.
