Research at the school has made impressive strides, with five national-level research platforms, including the National Supercomputing Center in Zhengzhou. In the past five years, the school has undertaken over 350 major research projects with research funding exceeding 220 million yuan ($30.67 million). These efforts have produced significant achievements with economic and social impact.
The school is also a leader in international cooperation. It is co-developing the China-Russia Supercomputing Research Institute and the Sino-Russian Advanced Digital Intelligence Institute with Lomonosov Moscow State University. It co-founded the Sino-Germany Institute, Zhengzhou University's sole institution dedicated to international exchange and talent training. The school has also established partnerships with the University of Cambridge and McGill University.
Strongly connected to industry, the school collaborates with leading enterprises such as Unicompute Technology and Weihua Group to establish R&D centers and labs. Its supercomputing resources support initiatives in smart city governance, environmental monitoring, and research across chemistry, materials, biology, and medicine.
