spirit of ìacademic freedom and inclusiveness,î attracting some

of the greatest minds in the country (and possibly the world), who

went on to promote higher education at the university. During

the turmoil of World War II, Peking University survived by joining

forces with Tsinghua University and Nankai University, forming

the National Southwestern Associated University. The Associ-

ated University produced many notable scientists, including Li

and healthî by being ìboldly creative and keenly visionary,î

honoring ancient traditions while not being enslaved by them.

It will foster the growth of outstanding individuals with practical

abilities and a global outlook, equipping them with a healthy body

and mind, and the ability to think independently and innovatively.

Second, special focus will be given to solving real-world so-

cietal problems by contributing new knowledge, new ideas, and

new technologies that promote the creation of a shared future

for mankind. Playing on its strengths of ìnurturing academia and

inspiring ideas,î the university will plant and nourish the seeds

of new ideas about Chinese socialism so as to disseminate Chi-

nese voices and add Chinese contributions to the modernization

of humankind. Aiming to be at the forefront of global develop-

ment, the university will create a free and open academic at-

��

enhance its capacity for innovation, while providing innovation-

driven strategic services for China. As part of its strategic goals,

the university aims to generate knowledge and ideas that can in-

��

the globe.

Third, it is the obligation of Peking University to explore new

means to build world-class universities, and to provide satisfac-

��

ential university, it must take the lead in developing the coun-

tryís higher education system. Making the most of the Double

First-Class Initiative and the ongoing comprehensive reform in

higher education, the university aims to create a freer and more

harmonious academic environment, and a modern university

system centered around Chinese characteristics, by emphasiz-

ing the need to promote quality education over simply growing

enrollment. Additionally, it will strive to encourage the reform

and development of higher education both domestically and

internationally.

Finally, Peking University will implement a strategy of greater

openness to the world. The university is committed to strengthen-

ing its cooperation with other world-class schools, international

academic organizations, and educational research institutions,

so that all parties involved can learn from each other,

inspiring dynamism and ingenuity.

At Peking University, we guarantee that the

talents of both faculty and students will be

proudly supported. We will encourage mutual

understanding, trust, tolerance, respect, and apprecia-

tion among everyone, so that a positive culture can be

established on campus. We will continue to work hard

to advance reform and innovation, and to realize our

primary dream of being at the forefront of world-class

universities.

sequencing; ultra-small laser accelerators; fast, high-resolution

miniature two-photon microscopy; and innovative drug devel-

opment. Certain technological developments pioneered at the

university have already been widely accepted, including carbon-

based nanoelectronic devices, a new standard for ultra-high def-

��

microscopy.

Furthermore, Peking University is the most globalized univer-

sity in mainland China. It has established exchange partnerships

with more than 380 top universities and institutions from over 60

countries and regions, and welcomed thousands of outstanding

young international students. Yenching Academy, a postgradu-

ate college of Peking University, builds bridges internationally

through its interdisciplinary Masterís program in China Studies,

which trains exceptional graduates from around the world. The

academy aims to shape the next generation of global citizens

by providing a nuanced understanding of China and its global

role. The universityís Institute of South-South Cooperation and

Development offers graduate programs to cultivate leaders from

developing countries, who will learn to apply Chinese principles

to global governance. In the period between 2006 and 2015,

Peking University published 16,921 papers in cooperation with

foreign universities and institutions, which comprise 33.5% of all

papers published at the university during that time.

Bringing Peking University to the worldPeking University has always upheld its honored legacies

and traditions, epitomized by its courage and its resolution to

ìtake the lead in the world.î Generations of ìPKUersî have a

singular dream: to make Peking University a leading international

institution and an academic sanctuary to which all students and

scholars aspire.

On the centennial anniversary of the founding of Peking Uni-

versity in 1998, the Chinese government launched Project 985,

to establish world-class universities across the country. In 2017,

the Double First-Class Initiative was introduced to create not only

world-class universities, but world-class academic disciplines

as well. Boasting the largest number of disciplines

participating in this initiative, Peking University

has now become the benchmark for all Chinese

universities. Its overarching mission is to contribute

Chinese wisdom and the Chinese way of thinkingó

which are deeply rooted in the countryís historyóto

further global development. It will do this in four ways:

First, it will provide an education that teaches both

knowledge and moral values, incorporating the

best of Chinese and Western civilization to cultivate

motivated and creative students. By rooting itself in

the deep soil of Chinese civilization and Oriental

In 1668, the aspiring pharmacist Friedrich Jacob

Merck acquired a pharmacy in Darmstadt,

Germany. He laid the foundation for what today

is a vibrant science and technology company

with more than 50,000 employees in 66 countries.

In 2018, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany,

celebrates its 350th anniversary. ìAlways Curious ñ

Imagine the Next 350 Yearsî will be the anniversary

motto. ìWe are celebrating 350 years of curiosity,î

says Stefan Oschmann, Chairman of the Executive

Board and CEO. ìThis is the power that drives human

progress. And curiosity challenges us to imagine the

next 350 years.î The company holds the rights to the

name and the trademark ìMerckî internationally except

for the United States and Canada, where it operates in

the biopharma market as EMD Serono, in life science

as MilliporeSigma, and in the specialty chemicals and

high-tech materials business area as EMD Performance

Materials.

Throughout its history, the company, which has been

majority family-owned for 13 generations, has helped

to advance science as we know it. In the 19th century,

Emanuel Merck played a leading role in transforming

pharmaceutics from a manual craft into a science.

Today, the company offers high-quality, specialized

technologies in the fields of Healthcare, Life Science,

and Performance Materials. Its over 6,000 researchers

are dedicated to discovering pioneering health

solutions and new technologies. Total spending on

research and development amounted to about €2

billion (US$2.4 billion) in 2016 alone.

The companyís Healthcare business sector

works to improve and prolong patientsí lives. It is

devoted to medicines that treat an array of illnesses

and conditions, such as cancer, infertility, and

neurological, immunologic, cardiovascular, and

metabolic diseases. R&D investments focus on

cutting-edge areas such as immuno-oncologyó

harnessing the immune system to attack tumorsó

which has the potential to revolutionize the way

cancer is treated and help more patients in the future.

It also aims to address unmet or under-supported

needs in healthcareófor example, the company has

devoted significant resources to better

understanding and treating multiple

sclerosis. In 2016, it invested around

€1.5 billion (US$1.8 billion) in

healthcare R&D, and its teams

of over 2,500 experts work at

research hubs in Darmstadt,

Boston, Beijing, and Tokyo,

collaborating closely with biotech

companies and universities.

The Life Science business sector is dedicated to

��

solve the toughest problems in life science. Overall, the

business sector offers more than 300,000 products to

more than 1.5 million customers. As a global market

leader in bioprocessing and equipment, the company

is also one of the leading suppliers of laboratory

chemicals, lab water instruments, and chromatography

��

��

��

manufacturers appreciate its products and services

that continuously monitor the quality and safety of

their goods. Individual scientists and institutions enjoy

access to industry-leading ecommerce platform and

supply chain capability (www.sigma-aldrich.com). The

company is one of the leading suppliers of CRISPR/

Cas9 genome-editing technology, which many believe

and development of new drugs in the future.

The ideas and solutions of the companyís Perfor-

mance Materials business sector are being used

almost everywhere. The business sector develops

innovative high-tech chemicals for sophisticated ap-

plications. These include liquid crystals and OLEDs for

displays, effect pigments for coatings and cosmetic

products, specialty chemicals for the semiconductor

industry, and functional materials for solar panels.

The companyís Performance Materials sector is the

global market and technology leader in liquid crystals

and the global market leader in effect pigments. Its

teams are currently developing materials to make

of technical devices. And Performance Materials

offers pigments and functional materials for coatings,

plastics, foods, or cosmetics as well as functional

materials for specialist applications. Furthermore, it

is offering materials for organic photovoltaics (OPVs),

which can complement conventional solar cells made

of silicon. OPV materials are printed in extremely thin

��

��

energy regardless of what angle of sunlight falls on

their surface. And they can be glued onto a curved

surfaceówhich opens entirely new applications.

No matter the division, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt,

Germany, has made it a point to weave corporate

responsibility and sustainability throughout the

fabric of its business. Since 2007, it has partnered

with the World Health Organization to help eliminate

schistosomiasis. This neglected tropical disease

affects more than 200 million people and claims

��

the disease, the company produces and donates

praziquantel tablets. So far, it has donated 700 million

tablets, which allowed for 120 million patients being

treated, most of them school age children. This

dedication has been recognized. In 2016, the Access

to Medicine Foundation evaluated the companyís

efforts to provide access to health and ranked the

company fourth in its 2016 ATM Index. ìI am very

proud that we achieved a superb ranking in the ATM

Index. Our long history has taught us that sustainable

business success is always the result of responsible

conduct.î says Oschmann, who joined the company

as a member of the Executive Board in 2011 and was

named Chairman and CEO in 2016.

A compelling combination of

curiosity and innovationIn its anniversary year, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt,

Germany, aims to further put curiosity to work for hu-

man progress. The companyís business sectors are

tackling tomorrowís challenges today. That includes

using sophisticated data analysis to fight diseases

such as cancer, providing biotech companies and sci-

entists with fully digital and fully connected devices,

and developing the materials for tomorrowís technolo-

gies. At the same time, the company drives the devel-

opment of new technologies between and beyond its

current business sectors.

An example of the companyís commitment to being

a technology leader is the Innovation Center. A modu-

lar version was opened in April 2015 as a prototype to

the Innovation Center, which is currently taking shape

at the heart of the companyís corporate headquarters.

Its opening will take place in spring 2018. The Innova-

tion Center aims to develop entirely new businesses

and technologies beyond the companyís current

scope, bringing together people, technologies, and

skills from different areas under one roof. So far, inter-

nal collaborations have led to such diverse innovations

as the development of a new, advanced lens that can

be inserted into the eye after cataract surgery or to a

project with a focus on indoor farming.

Multiple programs have been established at the

Innovation Center to foster employee-driven ideation

across business sectors and to spin in external ideas

with the objective to build a strong innovation project

portfolio. The Accelerator program supports early-

stage startups with exceptional ideas and business

models that have the potential to disrupt entire

industries. Through the Accelerator, the companyís

scientists have the chance to get connected to these

startups, learn from them and partner for innovation

projects. The Innovation Think Tank enables technical

professionals and experts from other functions to

collaborate across business sectors. It serves as a

launchpad to analyze future trends and technologies

together with internal and external experts, research

institutes, and companies. Based on their findings,

the Think Tank teams are keen to develop new project

ideas that will help the company succeed in the future.

The global bottom-up initiative, Innospire, successfully

crowd-sources innovative ideas from the companyís

employees. Several thousand employees have

participated over the past years, which has led to the

development of new products.

A flagship program of the Healthcare business sec-

tor is the Biopharma Innovation Cup, which offers a

unique chance for top postgraduate students from all

over the world to learn about R&D in the pharmaceuti-

cal industry during a one-week summer camp. It has

already won a series of innovation awards, such as the

German Industry Innovation Award in 2015.

As the CEO of a science and technology company,

Oschmann is an unwavering supporter of the scientific

method. ìThanks to science, we are wealthier and

healthier than ever before in human history yet at

the same time we are facing countless challenges

for which we need scientific solutions,î says

Oschmann. ìThe importance of science must not be

underestimated, especially today. It is a powerful tool

to distinguish facts from misbeliefs, superstition, and

pure nonsenseóand is essential to achieve human

progress.î
