On November 30th, the "2024 New Think Tank Governance Forum" was held in Lanzhou City, Gansu Province. This forum was jointly hosted by Nanjing University, Lanzhou University, and the Jiangsu Provincial Academy of Social Sciences, with over 600 representatives from think tanks, ideological and theoretical circles, as well as mainstream media and other institutions nationwide in attendance. The forum announced the "2024 Annual Supplementary Source Think Tank List," and the Innovation and Talent Base For Digital Technology and Finance successfully made the cut, becoming a source think tank for the Chinese Think Tank Index (CTTI) in 2024.

The Chinese Think Tank Index (CTTI), jointly established by Nanjing University and Guangming Daily, is an authoritative and high-end think tank platform. It is the first and largest think tank vertical search engine and data management platform in China with full intellectual property rights, enjoying high authority and objectivity. It is reported that a total of 264 application materials were received for this supplementary selection process. After reviewing and screening the application materials and conducting expert panel evaluations, 118 think tanks were ultimately selected for this year's supplement, with a selection rate of 45%.

The inclusion of the Innovation and Talent Base For Digital Technology and Finance in the 2024 CTTI Source Think Tank signifies that the base's research achievements and academic influence in recent years have been recognized and affirmed within the industry. As a CTTI source think tank, the base will continue to focus on the major strategic needs of China's economic and social development, gather outstanding scientific research forces in the field of digital economy from home and abroad, explore frontier theories and applied research on the intersection of digital technology and economic finance, and strive to build an internationally influential financial research platform.
