There are also foreign units to carry out "safety review" to students from Chinese universities and scientific research institutions.
On October 24th, Switzerland Zurich Federal Institute of Technology (hereinafter referred to as ETHZ) official website released, will apply for Shuobo from ChinaPersonnel conducts "Safety Censors" .ETHZ detailed colleges and majors that need to be reviewed, and 15 Chinese universities are included in the list .
> Meiqi is called "Safety Examination"?
In the academic ranking of 2024 Soft Science World University, the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland, ranked 21st in the world, focusing on engineering technology, natural science and other fields.Teaching research has cultivated many top scientists including Einstein and von Normanman, known as the "First Institute of Technology in Continental in Europe".
Public information shows that this is the first name of ETHZ applicants from Chinese universities.In addition to 15 universities in China, the China Institute of Engineering Physics and China Institute of Space Technology is also considered the object of review.The total of 23 institutions in Iran, North Korea, and Russia, which are clearly included in the list with domestic universities and research institutes.
"Dual Use and Sanctions: These Applications Require Security Screening" released on the official website "Dual purpose and sanctions: these applications require security review), ETHZ made details on the behavior.Explanation, the announcement said, "As the global political situation is changing ... all kinds of challenges have affected ETHZ, so when recruitment Masters degree, doctoral student or invited scientific guests, new employees ETHz needs to consider the current national and international sanctions and regulations on export control.In the standard, they mentioned a concept - Security RISK (security risk) , and institutions with "security risks" include universities related to military and current Institutions that are sanctioned , the final "security review" list was drafted by ETHz based on the existing sanctions list of Switzerland, the European Union, the United States, and the United Kingdom .
In fact, the scope of "security review" is not as simple as the institution on the list. In addition to the educational background, nationality/residential place, project funding, research field is also the basis for review. As long as it meets any of the review indicators, the application will be reviewed; if it triggers more than a review indicator, the application will be rejected directly. In other words, even if the applicant has never received education in 17 domestic institutions mentioned earlier, if the applicant is subject to scholarships, exchange plans or suspicious funds for scholarships, the research direction of the research direction belongs to the research direction belongs toKey research areas, key technologies, etc. will also be reviewed.
Evaluation criteria applied for a masters degree

Why are these 15 universities?
It is not difficult to find from the list that these 15 universities are a strong science and engineering school.The fields that need to focus on the high degree of attention are highly matched, concentrated in the related fields of STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics], all are cutting -edge and hotspots of current technology research. .
ETHz columns indicate the fields that require focus
7 universities directly under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and University of Defense Science and Technology have cultivated a large number of outstanding talents in the fields of national defense technology such as aerospace, ship ocean, nuclear power, weapons and equipment.Serving the national strategy and cultivating the national defense science and technology soldiers, they are not allowed.5G technology, integrated circuits, artificial intelligence, quantum information, cloud computing, big data ... Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications and University of Electronic Science and Technology is the leader in the electronic communication field of colleges and universities in my country , Raised the "backbone" of the Chinese information and communication industry.
Tianjin University, Sichuan University is the leader in the fields of domestic chemical industry, biology and other fields. , Polymer materials have achieved important breakthroughs; as an important institution in southern my country, Sun Yat -sen University strives to strive for new materials, new energy, artificial intelligence, low -altitude economy, new generation of information technology and other fields. Break through several "card necks" technical problems, jointly build National Super Computing Guangzhou Center with units such as the University of Defense Science and Technology, and promote high -performance computing and big data in depth of "Tianhe No. 2" supercomputers; The University of Science and Technology of China It is an important base for the development of cutting -edge scientific research instruments and large scientific devices in my country. In recent years, at the forefront of the forefronts such as quantum information, single molecular science, high temperature superconducting, nano -science, earth environment, life and health, etc. A number of scientific research results with world level have been achieved, and this year, it has made milestone progress in the field of quantum computing .
In this list, Luoyang Institute of Technology is undoubtedly the most striking college.As the only non -"double first -class" university, what are the universal colleges and universities?Public information shows that Luoyang Institute of Technology has cultivated in the field of inorganic non -metallic material engineering for many years, and played an important role in the field of national construction engineering, smart industry, and national defense equipment.The School of Materials Science and Engineering is one of the earliest units in my country engaged in material engineering research and talent training. It was formerly known as the Luoyang Architectural Materials Industrial School of Materials Industrial, which was established in 1958. from At that time, the layout of the Ministry of Building Materials was established , which had become influential "" Chinese Building Materials Industry Talent Training Base ".
> The tightened study abroad policy
ETHZ It is not a precedent for reviewing Chinese scientific research and school staff. According to its official website, the above list is actually drafted based on the existing sanctions list of Switzerland, the European Union, the United States, and the United Kingdom.In May 2020, the then US President Trump signed the "President 10043 Presidents Order". According to the presidential order, the US "suspension and restrictions" students and researchers related to the Chinese military entered the United States to study or launch the United States to carry out the United States.Research .To this day, the "Presidents Order 10043" has not failed.
There are also movements in the Netherlands and other places.According to the British "Financial Times" reported on June 12 last year, Dutch Education Minister Duckhlav said that the Dutch government plan Risk screening for international students in the science and technology discipline , and will count the statistical Chinese public students (CSC) In the area of lotus and learning.With the so -called "national security", many Dutch universities discipline in the field of science and technology reduces the admission of Chinese public students .The President of the Dutch Eindhoven University, Jane Smitz, said: "The Dutch government requires the university to take stricter measures to better protect their treasures (Crown Jewels, referring to the top technology of the Netherlands)."
But among Chinese students who have been refused, many people have learned from the "military application" and "science and technology field" in the official policy, such as finance, business, literature and art. In addition to the school, Chinese students may also be refused to sign a signs of work, study experience in the past, or participating in the Chinese government scholarship project. A research report released by Georgetown University in the United States argues: "Because there are many key terms and concepts that the Presidential Presidential order is not defined, the scope of this ban is unclear."
"Research Knows No Borders." "ResearchNo borders.
With the accelerated expansion of modern science and the enhancement of the role of social appearance, the theoretical issues such as the load value of science have become more and more attention to the academic community anddiscuss.Controversy on "science no borders" has never stopped.But as ETHZ did, when the "security review" is generalized, can they really adhere to the "Research Knows No Borders"?
