1. Institute of Complexity Science

The Institute of Complexity Science of Qingdao University was founded by Academician Zhang Jiying, who came to Qingdao University at the end of 1999. Its academic research is characterized by the study of complex systems and complexity science, focusing on the nature of complex systems and the laws of evolution, and revealing the ****ness of various systems and the ****similarity of the laws followed in the process of evolution.

2. Big Data Technology and Smart City Research Institute

The Institute relies on and integrates the strengths of Shandong Province's key disciplines of computer application technology, Shandong Province's key laboratory of intelligent information processing, Shandong Province's health management engineering technology research center, Shandong Province's academician's workstation, Qingdao City's key laboratory of software technology, Qingdao University's Institute of Complexity Science, and combines with the regional and economic characteristics of Qingdao to create a close integration of industry, academia, and research. The researchers will also work with Qingdao University's Institute of Complexity Science to create a collaborative research platform for big data technology and smart city with international influence through the close integration of industry, academia and research.

3. Marine Fiber New Material Research Institute

Marine Fiber New Material Research Institute is the earliest team in China to carry out research and development of marine biomass fiber materials led by Professor Xia Yanzhi. In the increasingly severe food and cotton competition for land, oil resources are facing the depletion of the situation, put forward the concept of marine resources as the third source of fiber. Team in the field of marine biomass fiber basic research, seaweed fiber spinning new technology, seaweed fiber functional textiles, seaweed fiber essential flame retardant materials, seaweed fiber modern textile key technologies, equipment and industrialization of key technology integration and other aspects of the research carried out in the innovation and development, to open up the application of marine biological resources in a new field, the team has always been the construction of human resources, projects, platforms, and development of a close combination of. The team has always closely combined the construction of talents, projects and platforms with the development, and gradually formed a scientific research and innovation team with reasonable knowledge structure, age structure and academic structure in a rational and orderly manner.
