On The List: 2023 World Class Discipline Textile Ranking Release

　　 Recently, the 24th China International Education Annual Conference was held in Beijing, and Soft Science, a professional institution of higher education evaluation, officially released 2023 "Soft Science World Class Discipline Ranking". A total of more than 1900 colleges and universities from 104 countries and regions eventually ranked in various disciplines. Among the textile science and engineering disciplines released for the first time, Donghua University, Jiangnan University and Wuhan Textile University rank the top three in the world, and Qingdao University ranks the fourth.

　　 The "ranking of world-class soft science disciplines" uses a series of internationally comparable objective academic indicators to measure the performance of global universities in related disciplines. The ranking indicators include international authoritative awards, top achievements of disciplines, high-level scientific research output, scientific research quality, international cooperation, etc., and are known for the objectivity, transparency and stability of evaluation methods.

　　 Donghua University:

　　 Comprehensive strength enters the ranks of world-class disciplines

　　 Donghua University adheres to the discipline construction as the leadership, the textile science and engineering discipline continues to maintain the national leadership, and its comprehensive strength has entered the ranks of world-class disciplines. A large number of scientific research achievements are widely used in aerospace, major construction projects, environmental protection and other fields, making contributions to "Shenzhou", "Tiangong", "Beidou" and "Chang'e". In the construction of first-class disciplines in textile science and engineering, Donghua University focuses on the development of six interdisciplinary and comprehensive disciplines covering the whole textile industry chain, such as "new fiber materials", "advanced textile intelligent manufacturing technology", "ecological textile dyeing and finishing technology", "clothing technology and fashion design", "new textile materials", and "textile soft material science and technology".

　　 In 2021, the "Shanghai Modern Textile Frontier Science Research Base" will be settled in Donghua University. The university will give full play to the role of the main force of the world-class discipline basic research of "textile science and engineering", cultivate and build a batch of high-level frontier science bases, gather a batch of first-class and reasonable gradient innovation teams, and produce a batch of original textile achievements with significant scientific value, In order to solve the problem of national textile "choking", we will carry out first-class research and strive to build a national frontier science center and scientific research base.

　　 Jiangnan University:

　　 Focusing on the needs and development of the industry

　　 The College of Textile Science and Engineering of Jiangnan University, founded in 1952, is one of the important bases for the cultivation of high-level textile talents and scientific and technological innovation with early establishment, strong faculty and high academic level in China. The discipline of textile science and engineering was granted the right to grant master's degree in 1986, doctor's degree in 2003, postdoctoral mobile station in 2009, and first-class discipline doctor's degree in 2010. Textile engineering is currently the key discipline of the "211 Project".

　　 After more than 70 years of development, under the key construction of the national "211 Project", the textile science and engineering discipline of Jiangnan University has been engaged in the development of textile intelligent equipment, textile image technology, textile product CAD, functional textile fiber reinforced composite materials, textile enzymes, ink jet printing pigments and inks Research directions such as ultra-fine coatings and dyeing technology have formed distinctive characteristics and advantages. Focusing on the needs and development of the industry, and focusing on interdisciplinary, the college has formed a batch of achievements that have significant economic benefits and significant social impact. It has won two second prizes of the National Award for Science and Technology Progress, one second prize of the National Award for Technological Invention and nearly 100 provincial and ministerial awards for scientific and technological achievements.

　　 Wuhan Textile University:

　　 Continuous breakthrough in "neck jam" technology

　　 Textile Science and Engineering of Wuhan Textile University is a key discipline with advantages in Hubei Province. In 2015, it became the backbone discipline of Hubei's "modern textile technology" advantageous characteristic discipline group. In 2018, it was selected as the construction discipline of "domestic first-class discipline" in Hubei Province. In 2022, it was identified as the key construction discipline of first-class disciplines in provincial universities, supporting the disciplines of material science, chemistry Engineering ranks in the top 1% of ESI in the world.

　　 The discipline has undertaken a large number of major scientific research projects such as the national key research and development plan, 973, 863, etc., won one first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award (2009), two second prizes of the National Technology Invention Award (2008, 2009), one second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award (2019), and a large number of provincial and ministerial major science and technology awards. In recent years, it has successively broken through the "choking" technologies such as the "Chang'e-5" lunar flag, the "Tianwen 1" Mars exploration and landing engine flexible insulation components, special double satellite special connecting ropes, and special seabed capture bionic nets.
