1. Institute of Educational Science, Shanghai Normal University
The Institute of Educational Science of Shanghai Normal University was established in 1983. Under the direct leadership of the school authorities, it adheres to the guidance of Deng Xiaoping's "Three Orientations" theory, implements the strategy of "invigorating education through scientific research", and serves the educational and scientific research activities of Shanghai education management, grass-roots schools and educators. At that time, a working pattern of small organization, large network, multiple activities and wide radiation was formed, which made outstanding contributions to the reform of basic education in Shanghai.
2. The Institute of Urban Culture and Electronics of Shanghai University is one of the first six institutes newly established by the Education Commission of Shanghai Municipal People's Government.
The Electronic Research Institute of Urban Culture is a new research mechanism with the characteristics of openness, dynamics and virtuality by using modern electronic technology. The so-called openness is different from the closed and self-sufficient research institutions in the past; The so-called dynamic is different from the static and fixed research mechanism in the past; The so-called virtual is relative to the huge research entity before.
The Astrophysics Research Center of Shanghai Normal University is a scientific research institution directly under the school. The Center hosted the 2007 China Annual Conference on Gravity and Relativity Astrophysics.
At present, astroparticle physics is the key subject of Shanghai Education Commission. The theoretical physics discipline in the center is the key discipline of Shanghai Normal University. The center consists of cosmology, black hole physics and computational physics, and undertakes 9 national-level projects and 3 Shanghai-level and Shanghai Education Commission projects. The research work of the Center is closely linked to the forefront of international research, and it has achieved remarkable research results in close cooperation with the academic circles of the United States, Britain, France and Taiwan Province Province.
The center mainly has four research directions, cosmology, gravity theory, black hole physics and computational physics.
