5. Foundation of a significant co-found research community, SUTD–MIT International Design Center (IDC) 

SUTD and Zhejiang University (ZJU) additionally mutually participate in examine joint efforts to address difficulties related with the present reality, in territories, for example, medicinal services, transportation, clean vitality, and the earth.

Campus

SUTD’s between time grounds was arranged at the previous ITE College Dover grounds in Dover from its establishment in April 2012 until December 2014.

Undergraduate Programs

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has been building up an undergrad educational program fit to the nearby setting since the two colleges consented to the joint effort arrangement in January 2010.
