Abstract: In response to national strategic imperatives in science, technology, and education, Tongji University has implemented a series of international collaborative initiatives aimed at advancing the clinical translation of biomedical polymeric materials. Tongji University has engaged several internationally renowned scholars to conduct interdisciplinary research in this field. Through the adoption of an integrated teaching methodology that optimizes Chinese and international educational approaches, the institution has actively organized various international academic exchange programs for students. The curriculum was systematically organized through the incorporation of cutting-edge knowledge, complemented by the implementation of a dual-mentor system involving both domestic and international supervisors. These comprehensive approaches are designed to cultivate a new generation of innovative professionals in the biomedical materials field, who possess both specialized expertise and international competitiveness, thereby contributing to the advancement of national scientific and technological capabilities.

Key words: Biomedical polymer materials, Sino-foreign cooperation, International talent cultivation
