Securities Times:
SUFE-DAFI, a “wall-less” university close to institutions and businesses and a new model for talent training
“Many people thought it was impossible in the first place, but SUFE-DAFI managed to sign contracts, complete construction and begin classes in the same year.” Liu Yuanchun, President and Deputy Secretary of the CPC Committee of SUFE, and Dean of SUFE-DAFI, said, “To realize your dream, you must first have a dream.”
Liu believes that although Shanghai has grown into an international financial center that basically matches with China's economic strength, there is still a shortage of new comprehensive financial talents and international first-rate financial talents that cater to the development of emerging technologies.
“The training of financial professionals used to focus more on traditional finance. Now as we are in the digital era, the international environment and the rules of financial resource allocation have all changed, which necessitates the development of compound financial talents.” Liu noted, “SUFE-DAFI was born in response to the times. Through ‘open-door education’, it seeks to establish a new platform for talent training that integrates government, industry, academia and research.”
