As of 24:00 on November 20, the Organizing Committee had received 713 bidding documents. Compared with last year, this year’s bidding projects are not only twice more in number, but also pay more attention to creative planning, quality and participation of teachers and students. Among the 713 projects declared, many of them are led by professional teachers as leaders, some are based on the cooperation among undergraduates, postgraduates, international students and teachers, others are teams from different classes, dormitories, laboratories, clubs, research groups, etc. Those projects are marked by diversity and coordination, showing higher involvement of both postgraduates and teachers. Judging from the bidding documents, this year’s application projects are focused more on creative planning, clear and standardized expression, and detailed budget.
