Fudan University is a public university in Shanghai, China. The university is affiliated with the Ministry of Education and is co-funded with the Shanghai Municipal Government.
It was founded by the Chinese Jesuit priest Ma Xiangbo in 1905.
The university is part of Project 211, Project 985, and the Double First-Class Construction. The university is also a member of the C9 League.
History[edit]
The school's predecessor was Fudan Public School (复旦公学) founded in 1905, by the Chinese Jesuit priest Ma Xiangbo. It was one of the earliest privately-founded colleges and universities in China.
The predecessor of Shanghai Medical University (上海医科大学) was the Fourth National Sun Yat-sen University School of Medicine (国立第四中山大学医学院) founded in 1927. In 2000, Fudan University merged with Shanghai Medical University to form the new Fudan University.[4][5]
Fudan has five undergraduate colleges – Zhide (志德), Tengfei (腾飞), Keqing (克卿), Renzhong (任重), and Xide (希德).
The university has four campuses in Shanghai – Handan (邯郸), Fenglin (枫林), Zhangjiang (张江), and Jiangwan (江湾) – which share the same central administration. It also has 17 affiliated hospitals.
Technology Innovation & scale up[edit]
- Researchers successfully revived a human brain that had been frozen for as long as 18 months establishing a breakthrough in the field of cryonics.[6][better source needed]
- The university set up a 1 billion yuan fund of funds for start up innovation besides launching what it claims to be China’s Largest Cloud-based Scientific Research Computing Platform CFFF.[7][8]

Notable alumni[edit]
Since 1952, Fudan University has a total of 95 academicians alumni, second only to Peking University and Tsinghua University in China.[25] Fudan's notable alumni include Chen Yinke, Chen Wangdao, Chu Coching, Yan Fu, Yu Youren, Chen Zhili, and "China's Kissinger" Wang Huning.[26][27]
Controversies[edit]
In December 2019, Fudan University changed its constitution, removing the phrase "academic independence and freedom of thought" (學術獨立和思想自由) and including a "pledge to follow the Communist party's leadership" (學校堅持中國共產黨的領導), leading to protests among the students.[28][29] It also said that Fudan University had to "equip its teachers and employees" with "Xi Jinping Thought", leading to concerns about the diminishing academic freedom of Fudan.[30][31]
The Hungarian government made an agreement to open the first campus of Fudan University outside China in Budapest in 2024.[32] The expansion would cost 540 billion HUF, of which 450 billion would be paid by the Hungarian state from a Chinese loan. The construction would be mainly done by Chinese companies.[33] Education professionals and politicians denounced the investment, citing economics, higher education and national security concerns.[34]

A video circulating this week showed students at Shanghai's Fudan University singing the school song – which extols "academic independence and freedom of thought" – in an apparent protest.{...}Besides removing "freedom of thought", the ministry adds to the charter "arming the minds of teachers and students with Xi Jinping's new era of socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics". It also obliges faculty and students to adhere to "core socialist values" and build a "harmonious" campus environment – a code phrase for the elimination of anti-government sentiment.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
