Engineering Fronts 2022
Clarivate, the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), and the Higher Education Press of China released their sixth annual collaborative report - Engineering Fronts 2022. The report, which was launched at a joint forum in Beijing, has identified 188 of the most important areas in engineering research and development.
In the report, an engineering front is defined as a key direction which is forward looking, leading and exploratory. It has a major influence, plays a leading role in the future of engineering science and technology and serves as an important guide for cultivating innovation.
The Engineering research fronts focus on theoretical exploration and are identified using citation data from Clarivate’s Web of Science™ as well as nominations by experts in China’s engineering research institutions. The engineering development fronts focus on the practical application of engineering science and technology and are identified by analysis of patent data in Derwent Innovation™ from Clarivate as well as nominations by industry experts in China.
