Zhengzhou University of Light Industry (Chinese: 郑州轻工业大学; pinyin: Zhèngzhōu Qīnggōngyè Dàxué) is a public university located in Zhengzhou, Henan, People's Republic of China.
Founded in 1977, Zhengzhou University of Light Industry (ZZULI) was administered successively by the Ministry of Light Industry, the National Council of Light Industry, and the State Economic and Trade Commission until it was transferred to Henan Province as an institution co-administered by the central and local authorities in 1998. Presently it has evolved into a multi-disciplinary engineering focused university promoting coordinated development of other disciplines such as Sciences, Liberal arts, Economics, Management, Law and Pedagogy.
Education and teaching
[edit]At present, ZZULI has secured a faculty of nearly 900, among whom over 400 are professors or associate professors, apart from a number of part-time professors. The University now offers 8 posts for provincial level Specially Employed Professors. Among the faculty members, more than 100 are entitled provincial Innovative Talents, Excellent Specialists, or Backbone Teachers.

As a result, there have been established 22 provincial Key Disciplines, 3 provincial Key Laboratories, 1 Engineering and Technology Center of Henan universities and over 20 scientific research institutions such as the Bioengineering and Technology Center of Henan Province.
The University has assumed about 2,000 major scientific research projects including those of the National Natural Science Foundation and Social Science Foundation. Over 50 scientific research awards at the provincial or above level have been acquired such as the Second Prize of the National Scientific and Technological Progress. In addition, it owns 2 Scientific and Research Innovation Teams of Henan Province and 1 of Henan Universities.
