About ECNU and SKLEC

On October 16, 1951, East China Normal University (ECNU) was founded based on the Great China University (1924) and Kwang Hua University (1925), while incorporating some other departments from St. John’s University, etc. Funded by the state, administered by the Ministry of Education, and jointly supervised by the Ministry of Education and the Shanghai Municipal Government, ECNU isa comprehensive research university in China sponsored by the national top university programs “Project 211” and “Project 985”. In 2017, ECNU was one of the 36 Class A universities on the list of Double First-Class University Plan released by the central government of China, embarking on a new journey towards a world-class university with its roots in China. With two beautiful campuses located in Minhang and Putuo districts of Shanghai, ECNU has long been known as one of the most beautiful campuses in China.

The State Key Laboratory of Estuarine and Coastal Research (SKLEC) originated from the Estuarine and Coastal Research Institute, which was founded in 1957 and the first institute of estuaries and coasts research in China. The laboratory is mainly engaged in the both foundamental and applied research of estuarine and coastal areas, with the following research directions: Estuarine and coastal morphodynamics and land resource safety, Estuarine and coastal multi-interface ecological processes and its environmental impact, Estuarine and coastal hazard and resilience, and Human-earth coupling system and its sustainable development. In its 60 years of development, estuarine and coastal scientists have persistently carried out frontier research, focusing on practical problems in resource development and ecological protection in estuarine and coastal areas, and made a series of major innovative contributions to the sustainable social and economic development of coastal areas. While serving for the national developments, SKLEC has effectively developed science of the earth system, and promoted international academic influence in the field of estuarine and coastal research.
