From July 6 to 19, South China University of Technology (SCUT) holds the Second Global Summer School of Emerging Engineering at its Guangzhou International Campus. This year's program saw a more than 50% increase in participation compared to the previous year, attracting 120 international students from 25 world-renowned universities, including the University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, Ghent University, Université Paris Cité, and the University of California, Irvine, along with 16 faculty members from partner institutions.

The program comprised three main components: academic courses, cultural courses and visits, and a corporate mobile classroom. The academic sessions were jointly delivered by faculty members from SCUT and its partner universities. The cultural courses and visits allowed students to experience the brilliance of traditional Chinese culture, particularly Lingnan culture. The corporate mobile classroom presented a vivid and technologically advanced modern China.
