In recent years, SEM has attached great importance to innovation and entrepreneurship, and gradually formed a three-dimensional school-level innovation and entrepreneurship education system. Relying on three platforms of “Innovation and Entrepreneurship Research Center, School Committee and Entrepreneurship Practice Camp”, it forms an integrated training chain of “teaching and research, competition organization, and practice support” to meet different needs from the students. The school has set up its own “Alumni Scholarship”, which gives scholarships to teams that win awards in “Internet+”, “Challenge Cup” and “China College Students’ Entrepreneurship Competition” competitions. The Entrepreneurship Practice Camp of SEM has been held for five consecutive sessions, supporting 25 teams with the intention of starting their own business and granting them more than 400,000 RMB.
