985 211的意思

"985"和"211" are Chinese higher education initiatives aimed at developing world-class universities and key disciplines in China.

1. 985工程 (Project 985): Project 985 was launched in 1999, named after the year it was initiated, to promote the development of elite universities in China. The goal was to create a group of universities that could compete with the top institutions in the world. There are around 39 universities designated as Project 985 institutions. These universities receive significant funding and resources from the Chinese government to enhance their research capabilities and international competitiveness.

2. 211工程 (Project 211): Project 211 was launched earlier, in 1995, with the aim of improving the overall quality of higher education in China. The name "211" refers to the 21st century and the 100 key disciplines that were to be developed. There are around 100 universities designated as Project 211 institutions. These universities are expected to play a leading role in China's higher education system and contribute to the country's social and economic development.

Both projects have been influential in raising the standards of higher education in China and have helped to establish a number of universities as internationally recognized institutions of higher learning. Graduates from these universities are often highly sought after by employers in China and abroad.
