Since its founding, USC-SJTU Institute of Cultural and Creative Industry (ICCI) has remained committed to an educational philosophy centered on "Internationalization, interdisciplinary focus, and Industry orientation".

Guided by the belief that culture is a powerful force for education and personal development, ICCI has consistently pushed beyond disciplinary and institutional boundaries. It has fostered cutting-edge interdisciplinary innovation, developed cultural initiatives with international impact, and cultivated versatile graduates with a global outlook.

Through these efforts, ICCI has established a distinctive model of cultural and creative education that reflects the strengths and traditions of Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

As ICCI embarks on a new chapter, I hope it will continue to uphold its defining values of integrity, dedication, pioneering spirit, and continuous progress.May it continue to break new ground in the evolving field of cultural and creative industries and make even greater contributions to building a world-class discipline with Chinese characteristics.
