子曰：學而時習之，不亦說乎；有朋自遠方來，不亦樂乎？

"To study and to apply it in timely fashion, is that not indeed a pleasure?" says the Sage; "to have friends come from afar, is that not also a delight?"

With some allowance for our more pragmatic age, these lines from the Analects of Confucius characterize both the spirit and the goals of the MIT-China Program: study consolidated through application and friendship that spans the distance between nations and cultures. Founded in 1994, the MIT-China Program has become a leading center for applied Chinese studies, giving young scientists, technologists, and social scientists the chance to work in a Chinese setting and participate in the rapidly expanding world of Chinese business and technology. We welcome your participation in this exciting endeavor.

The MIT-China Program facilitates dynamic connections between the MIT community and its counterparts in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Drawing upon an extraordinary network of corporations, universities, and research institutes, the MIT-China Program aims to be as vital and multifaceted as the Chinese speaking cultures with which it collaborates.

Through the MIT-China Program, MIT students have

  • introduced MIT-OpenCourseWare and remote access iLabs educational technologies at Chinese universities.
  • created property maps of Shanghai, indicating the rate of housing and office development at Credit Lyonnais Securities Asia, Shanghai
  • researched the effects of Baclofen on stroke recovery at Zhongshan Hospital, Department of Neurology, Shanghai
  • sourced materials and parts going into and out of China's ports at Caterpillar Xuzhou Limited, Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province
  • built a bilingual Mandarin-English spoken-query information-retrieval system for Microsoft Research, Beijing
  • conducted experiments to further understand the use of gene therapy to treat lung cancer at Sun Yat-sen University Medical Center, Guangzhou

MIT-China prepares students for careers as global professionals by combining an MIT education with Chinese language and cultural training, applied technical experiences through internships, and follow-up involvement in on-campus seminars. Since its inception, the MIT-China Program has trained more than 450 students to work with host institutions in Greater China.
