History
In early 2014, over a hundred PhD candidates and professors from top 10 universities around the world launched ‘the International Academics Age-Lowering Campaign’. It aimed to help the top-notch overseas high students improve the learning abilities and research skills before they go abroad to study. They would harbor not only excellent academic performance but also international vision and spirits. Moreover, they could earn the elite universities’ appreciation after enrollment, honoring China with a brand new look. Witnessing this, the Illume Research Institute was established. They provide standard postgraduate level Project Training Program to young students around the world who wish to study abroad. They sincerely hoped to boost the China-Western academic communication and incubate Chinese research/academic talents for the future. They are currently looking to employ young professionals with high academic qualifications to join them. They will be required to act as a mentor for Chinese high school students who are conducting their own academic research. They are currently running two research programs: Elite University and Mini University.
