A higher education development scheme to create world-class universities and disciplines. It marks a shift from the 985 and 211 world-class university projects that channeled funds to a small number of elite universities. Announced by State Council in late 2015, combining and opening up 985 and 211 funding to more universities would make higher education funding more competitive and equal. Other plans include training more high-quality faculty, enhancing research and innovation capability, and linking academic progress and industry. The policy's label, shuang yiliu, literally means 'double world class' where campuses and disciplines form the 'double'.
