Duke Kunshan University recently launched the 5th Duke Kunshan University Innovation Challenge (“DaChuang”), centered around the theme of “Innovation · Connection.” The competition spurred a new generation of creators to look beyond what they build and consider how innovative thinking can open doors to wider impact. Out of a strong field of entrants, 29 exceptional projects progressed to the final round, earning seed funding or research grants. Notably, four of these winning teams included undergraduate and graduate students from the Duke Kunshan Global Health program. Their success underscores the program’s strength in fostering interdisciplinary innovation and equipping students to tackle complex, real-world problems.

On October 24, thirteen MSc Global Health students from the Class of 2027, together with six undergraduate students, participated in a field visit to the Oriental China Cardiovascular Medicine Museum and the Cold Spring Harbor Asia DNA Learning Center in Suzhou Industrial Park.

From November 30 to December 2, 2025, the Master of Global Health Program at Duke Kunshan University hosted the “Global Health Innovation for Impact: From Idea to Scale” Winter Camp.
