2014年，上海交通大学数学科学学院入选首批国家外专局和教育部联合实施的“高校国际化示范学院推进计划”，也是迄今为止唯一入选的数学学院。学院成立了“推进计划”国际管理委员会，不断创新引智工作和国际化服务举措，追求卓越教学与科研，努力探索在国内高校创建世界一流学科的可借鉴经验，把数学科学学院建设成国际一流的科学研究和人才培养示范基地。学院现已汇聚了一批以欧洲科学院院士、欧洲科学院外籍院士、中国科学院外籍院士、国家特聘专家、中青年学术骨干、优秀青年学者及国家级教学名师为代表的高层次人才队伍，为推动学院发展迈向世界一流奠定了坚实基础。
“推进计划”建设期内，学院积极开展多层次学术活动，平均每年举办国际会议和学术会议20余场，学术报告超过300场次；通过“高层次访问学者研究计划”、“吴文俊数学中心访问教授”、“国际化示范学院访学项目”、“国际化示范学院学术休假访学项目”、专题讨论班、国际暑期学校等多种形式引进国际人才来校授课及进行科研合作交流；学院教师年均逾70余人次在国内外重要国际学术会议作报告，71人次任国内外重要学术期刊主编或编委，国际合作论文比例连续5年超过45%；学院积极与海外一流大学建立长期深入的合作关系，与英国牛津大学、法国索邦大学、美国威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校、新加坡国立大学、俄罗斯莫斯科国立大学等建立多层次的联合培养和双学位项目、合作举办中外合作办学项目、成立联合研究中心等。这些建设举措有效推动了学院“高校国际化示范学院推进计划”建设工作开展，有力加快了学院建设世界一流数学学科的步伐，也为学校整体国际化办学探索了新路径，提供了新经验。
据悉，中国政府友谊奖是为表彰在中国现代化建设中作出突出贡献的外国专家而设立的最高荣誉奖项，自1991年设立以来已有1799位外国专家获奖，其中，上海交通大学有6位外籍专家获此殊荣。

On September 30, the Chinese Government Friendship Award Ceremony of 2020 and 2021 was held in the Great Hall of the People. Tudor Ratiu, Academician of the European Academy of Sciences, Vice President and Chair Professor of the School of Mathematical Sciences, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, received the 2020 award and spoke at the ceremony as a representative of the foreign experts who received the award. After the ceremony, Premier Li Keqiang met with the foreign experts who received the Chinese Government Friendship Award at the Great Hall of the People and warmly congratulated them, fully affirmed their contributions to China’s reform and opening-up, development and progress, and friendly relations between China and foreign countries, and through them extended his warm greetings to all foreign experts and their families working in China. After the meeting, the foreign experts present were invited by Premier Li Keqiang to attend a reception to celebrate the 72nd anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China.
Professor Tudor Ratiu has been working in China full-time since early 2016 as the Vice Dean and Chair Professor of the School of Mathematical Sciences of Shanghai Jiao Tong University’s “Internationalization Demonstration School”. During this period, he was awarded the Tullio Levi-Civita International Achievement Award (2016), the Shanghai Magnolia Memorial Award (2018), and the President’s Award of Shanghai Jiao Tong University (2020). Professor Ratiu is one of the first fellows of the American Mathematical Society and has published a series of high-level papers in leading international academic journals in the fields of geometry, dynamical systems and cybernetics, as well as several monographs. He has actively and effectively promoted the internationalization of the mathematics discipline in our university by combining his work experience in top-notch universities in different countries. He has invited and recommended a large number of distinguished overseas experts and outstanding young scholars to work in the university on a full-time or part-time basis, and has promoted international research cooperation between the university and European universities, as well as actively participated in the training of talents and curriculum reform of the university.
In 2014, the School of Mathematical Sciences of Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) was selected as one of the first and only mathematics schools to be included in the “Internationalization Demonstration College Promotion Program” jointly implemented by the State Administration of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Education. The School has established the International Management Committee of the “Promotion Plan”, continuously innovated the intellectual attraction work and internationalization service initiatives, pursued excellence in teaching and research, and strived to explore the experience of creating world-class disciplines in domestic universities, so as to build the School of Mathematical Sciences into an international first-class scientific research and talent training demonstration base. The School has now gathered a group of high-level talents represented by Academicians of European Academy of Sciences, Foreign Academicians of European Academy of Sciences, Foreign Academicians of Chinese Academy of Sciences, National Specially Appointed Experts, Young and Middle-aged Academic Backbone, Outstanding Young Scholars and National Master Teachers, which has laid a solid foundation for promoting the development of the School to the world class.
During the construction period of the “Promotion Plan”, the School has actively carried out multi-level academic activities, holding on average more than 20 international conferences and academic meetings and more than 300 academic presentations each year; through the “High-level Visiting Scholar Research Program”, the “Wu Wenjun Center Visiting Scholar Program”, and the “Wu Wenjun Center Visiting Scholar Program”. “Visiting Professor of Wu Wenjun Mathematics Center”, “Internationalization Model College Visiting Program”, “Internationalization Model College Academic Sabbatical Visiting Program”, symposiums, international summer schools The faculty members of the School have made more than 70 presentations at important international academic conferences at home and abroad, and 71 have served as editors-in-chief or editorial board members of important academic journals at home and abroad, and the proportion of international cooperative papers has exceeded 45% for five consecutive years. The School has established multi-level joint training and dual-degree programs with Oxford University (UK), Sorbonne University (France), University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA), National University of Singapore (Singapore), Moscow State University (Russia), etc., cooperated in organizing Chinese-foreign cooperative study programs and established joint research centers. These initiatives have effectively promoted the construction of the College’s “Internationalization Demonstration College Promotion Plan”, which has greatly accelerated the pace of building a world-class mathematics discipline, and explored new paths and provided new experiences for the overall internationalization of the University.
It is reported that the Chinese Government Friendship Award is the highest honorary award established to recognize foreign experts who have made outstanding contributions to the modernization of China, and 1799 foreign experts have been awarded since its establishment in 1991.
