Recently, GTIIT proudly announced the University's Research Information Management System(RIMS). It is now available at https://research.gtiit.edu.cn for everyone to admire GTIIT's top-notch research team and world-class research achievements.

RIMS

The system is powered by Elsevier Pure, a proven and leading-edge system that moves GTIIT's research information into a single system with a long future, providing a centralized and integrated platform for managing each type of research activities, outputs, funding, and reporting within our University, as well as demonstrating GTIIT's research competency to the globe through the public portal.

The system has been adopted by many world top universities. The Israel Higher Education Computing Center will also implement the system in all Israeli universities.

GTIIT cultivates pioneering leaders and researchers with global vision and aims to become a world-class international university, conducting cutting-edge research in the fields of science and technology. GTIIT attaches great importance to Industry-University-Research collaboration, and creates many opportunities for students to apply what they have learned.

In 2020, GTIIT signed more than 10 collaboration agreements with industry, with a total contract value of exceeding 10 million RMB, and also signed the student practice base agreement with 10 enterprises.

GTIIT is featured with innovation and entrepreneurship. Student patent fund has been set up to make innovative and entrepreneurial talents and achievements stand out. GTIIT attaches great importance to enhancing students’ awareness of innovation and intellectual property protection, as well as stimulating their creative innovation potential and entrepreneurial spirit.
