Although Guangdong University of Technology is not included in these two projects, it is still an important university. It is a provincial key university under key construction in Guangdong Province, Guangdong "2 1 1 project", a high-level university in Guangdong Province, a national "1 1 plan" and a high-level university of science and engineering in Guangdong Province.
This shows that although Guangdong University of Technology was not included in the "985 Project" and "2 1 1 Project", its status in Guangdong Province is still very high, with strong support from the Guangdong provincial government and certain achievements in teaching and scientific research.
