Institute of Advanced Interdisciplinary Technology

The institute currently operates eight research platforms: the Gene and Health Platform, Hockey Stick (Composite Materials) Research Platform, New Battery Materials R&D Laboratory, Intelligent Manufacturing Experimental Platform, Intelligent Unmanned Systems Laboratory, Cluster Intelligence International Innovation Laboratory, Aircraft Internal Combustion Engine Performance Laboratory, Applied Nanophotonics Platform, and Advanced Interconnection and Heterogeneous Integration Laboratory. Using these platforms and centers as fundamental units, it has established a "virtual-physical integration" multi-center research network, exploring the cultivation of multiple virtual innovation teams focused on cutting-edge scientific issues. This network brings together a high-level research team comprising internationally renowned scholars, national-level innovation leaders, and outstanding young researchers.

The institute closely aligns with international academic frontiers and national strategic needs, adhering to the university's medium- and long-term development goals. It focuses on key areas such as new materials, information network security, biomedicine, ecological civilization, data science, artificial intelligence, and aerospace. Emphasizing a "high-precision, cutting-edge, and urgently needed" orientation, the institute prioritizes major scientific challenges, interdisciplinary integration, top-tier innovative talent, and a high-level academic ecosystem. By breaking disciplinary, departmental, and institutional barriers, it drives scientific innovation paradigms and strives to create "talent hubs" and "academic hubs". The institute comprehensively explores mechanisms for interdisciplinary collaboration and emerging disciplinary growth points, gathering and cultivating world-class research teams with international academic influence and significant contributions to national science and technology. This approach aims to achieve breakthroughs in forward-looking fundamental research and the industrialization of pioneering scientific achievements.

In the future, the institute will establish 5-8 high-level research teams across various disciplines, advance R&D projects or key initiatives within its eight existing platforms, and collaborate with leading enterprises in Shenzhen through university-industry partnerships. It will also incubate high-tech companies to promote the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements, providing comprehensive support for the university's goal of becoming a world-class institution with integrated multidisciplinary and technological-industrial characteristics.

Center for Computational Mathematics and Control Research

On November 30, 2022, based on the resolution of the first tripartite coordination meeting for the operation of Shenzhen MSU-BIT University attended by the presidents of Lomonosov Moscow State University, Beijing Institute of Technology, and Shenzhen MSU-BIT University, and in recognition of the close and productive cooperation among the three institutions in science and education, the parties further deepened their collaboration by signing a memorandum of understanding on October 24, 2023, to establish the "MSU-BIT-SMBU Joint Research Center for Applied Mathematics" (hereinafter referred to as the "Center"). The aim is to coordinate the formation and development of the Center.

The Center's objectives are to implement joint research projects, jointly train high-quality talent, organize scientific activities, and carry out academic exchange programs in the fields of fundamental and applied mathematics, including but not limited to the following areas: control and optimization; big data analysis; supercomputing and network computing technologies; computational mathematics; fuzzy mathematics and applications.

Currently, the Center comprises seven laboratories: the Control and Optimization Laboratory, the Big Data and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, the Mathematical Modeling Laboratory, the Global Network Technology Laboratory, the Computational Mathematics Laboratory, the Fuzzy Mathematics and Applications Laboratory, and the Mathematical Physics Laboratory.

Eurasian Research Center

The Center was established in 2023, with a professional focus on China, Europe, and Russia—encompassing economics, culture, and geopolitical dynamics. The parent department of the Eurasian Research Center at Lomonosov Moscow State University is the Institute of Asian and African Studies. The Center's mission is twofold: education and research.

Starting in 2024, the Eurasian Research Center has launched a doctoral program (in International Economics, awarding a Moscow State University diploma), a master's program (in Contemporary Eurasian Development, awarding a Moscow State University diploma), and an undergraduate program (in Contemporary Socio-Economic Development of China, awarding dual diplomas from Moscow State University and Shenzhen MSU-BIT University).

Educational Mission of the Center:

1. Coordinate educational and teaching activities within the English-language master's program "Modern Development of Eurasia".

2. Coordinate educational and teaching activities for comprehensive Russian-language bachelor's and master's programs, as well as specialized studies in "Modern Socio-Economic Development of China".

3. Carefully select and invite faculty, advisors, and experts from Russia, China, and other countries to work at the Center.

4. Organize faculty, instructors, and experts working on the Center's programs and compile disciplinary curricula.

Research Mission of the Center:

By gradually building a team of international and Chinese experts, the Center conducts research within the framework of its English-language master's program and Russian-language bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs. This ensures the continuous expansion of analytical and academic exchanges between the Eurasian Research Center and foreign educational and research institutions. The long-term goal is to establish the Center as a prestigious platform for teaching, research, and public lectures by Chinese and international experts, regularly hosting international seminars on the modern development of Eurasia.

Priority Research Areas of the Center:

1. Economic development of modern Eurasian nations and regions.

2. Political economy of modernization in modern Eurasian nations and regions, including institutional changes related to these processes.

3. International relations and global (regional) security issues.

4. Social and socio-cultural development in modern Eurasian nations and regions.

To promote academic exchange and the sharing of research outcomes, the Center has successfully established and hosted the annual international seminar "China, Europe, Russia—Economics, Culture, Geopolitics." The inaugural seminar was held in October 2024, attracting numerous domestic and international experts and scholars.
