Behind the Scenes - Footprints of the Strugglers
The teams registered in mid-April and had less than a month to prepare before the preliminary round on May 10th. Despite overlapping with peak academic demands—exams, reports, and final coursework—the MEM teams at ECNU embraced the challenge. Driven by the belief that “the mission must be accomplished,” they practiced during evenings, weekends, and holidays. Through this dedication, they wrote a remarkable chapter under starlit skies and quiet determination.
Their efforts have not only forged the brilliance on the field, but also interpreted the tenacity and commitment of MEM students of East China Normal University - “Take innovation as the pen, practice as the ink, and write the undertones of youth in the struggle!”

Looking ahead, ECNU MEM will continue to uphold the mission of “Technology Empowers Management, Innovation Drives Development,” cultivating globally competitive talents with a forward-looking vision and cutting-edge practices.
On May 25th, the two finalist teams (Shen Qiuyue, Kuai Pu, Zhao Hui, Xiang Chen) will represent ECNU in the national finals in Tianjin. We wish them great success—solving problems with wisdom, triumphing through innovation, and bringing new glory to the name “ECNU MEM” on the national stage.
