The Department of Life Sciences and Medicine will promote the development of biology disciplines and fields related to chemistry, medicine, pharmacy, and agriculture.

By 2025, an internationally renowned life sciences and medicine department will be established at the university.

The School of Modern Engineering will become an important source of scientific and technological innovation that supports and leads the development of Yunnan's modern industrial system.

In the initial stages of construction, six departments covering advanced materials, biomedicine, ecological agricultural engineering, intelligent science and engineering, environmental governance and ecological restoration, tourism, and cultural innovation planning and design will be established.

Focusing on the major technical needs of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, the Carbon Neutrality Innovation Center will focus on key technological research and development, basic capacity building, talent training, and think tank development in related fields.
