In January 2020, SUSTech and UQ officially launched SUSTech-UQ Joint Centre for Neuroscience and Neural Engineering. The Joint Center will focus on neurocircuit computation, regulating neurocircuits to restore function following stroke, neuromodulation, connectomics and neuromorphic computer. Their primary research areas will include stroke, depression, dementia and other human brain disorders. The Joint Centre would deliver a step change in understanding neuroscience and neural engineering and promoting recovery of neurological disorders.

On March 28, 2019, SUSTech President Shiyi Chen and former UQ President & Vice-Chancellor Peter Høj signed the Collaborative Research Agreement
