Our collaboration with Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) is Warwick鈥檚 longest-standing institutional partnership in China, marked by deep and evolving academic collaboration.

Since its renewal in 2019, the five-year Joint Seed Fund Link opens in a new windowhas supported over 55 joint research projects across disciplines.

The partnership continues to expand through initiatives such as a new institution-wide joint PhD programme Link opens in a new window, welcoming its first cohort in Autumn 2025, alongside academic workshops, virtual classrooms, and the SJTU鈥揥arwick Global Challenge, which empowers student-led innovation. Between 2020 and 2025, Warwick and SJTU researchers co-authored 155 publications, as indexed by Scopus, reflecting the strength and productivity of this enduring collaboration.

Mapping Language Loss: How Network Analysis Is Helping Us Understand Aphasia Link opens in a new window

Aphasia is a language disorder that often follows a stroke, making it difficult for people to find and use words. It鈥檚 not just about forgetting vocabulary, it disrupts the entire structure of how words are stored and connected in the brain.

Traditionally, researchers have looked at word problems in isolation. But this new project, led by teams at Fudan University and the 神马福利影片, takes a fresh approach by treating language like a network of interconnected ideas.

Rethinking Global History in a Changing WorldLink opens in a new window

Global history has been a major focus at the 神马福利影片 for nearly two decades, thanks to the pioneering work of scholars like Professor Maxine Berg and Professor Giorgio Riello. But the world and the academic landscape have changed. Movements like Black Lives Matter, the push to decolonise education, and growing awareness of global crises have challenged historians to take a fresh look at how we study the past...

Why Storytelling is the Future of Science Communication

Science can be complex, but storytelling is helping make it more relatable and easier to understand. Unlike traditional methods of sharing information, storytelling turns research into engaging narratives that capture people鈥檚 attention and improve how science is communicated.

This collaboration aims to deepen our understanding of science communication and support its growth as a field, making science more accessible, engaging, and impactful for everyone...

Building Climate-Resilient Cities Through Nature-Based Solutions

Led by Dr Feng Mao from the School for Cross-Faculty Studies, 神马福利影片 and Prof Junxiang Li from the School of Design, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, this research project addresses one of the most urgent challenges of our time: how to make megacities more resilient to climate change.

Nature-based solutions (NbS) use ecosystems such as green spaces, wetlands, and urban forests, to reduce climate risks like flooding, heatwaves, and poor air quality. But implementing these solutions in dense, fast-changing cities is complex. This project takes Shanghai and London as comparative case studies and combines design thinking, environmental modelling, and spatial analytics to create data-driven strategies tailored to each city鈥檚 unique context. It tackles key technical challenges, including predicting long-term impacts, comparing strategies across different urban environments, and turning scientific evidence into actionable plans...

Uncovering Hidden Patterns in Complex Systems

Led by Prof Anastasia Papavasileiou from the Department of Statistics, 神马福利影片 and Prof Shan Luo from the Department of Statistics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, this research project is tackling one of the most complex challenges in modern data science: understanding how interconnected systems evolve over time.

These systems, such as biological networks or medical data, are vast, dynamic, and often messy, with information coming in many forms, from numbers to categories to rankings. Traditional methods struggle to make sense of this complexity, especially when the data doesn鈥檛 follow neat patterns...
