On February 14, the Ministry of education, the Ministry of Finance and the national development and Reform Commission issued several opinions on further promoting the construction of world-class universities and first-class disciplines (hereinafter referred to as the opinions), updating the list of universities and disciplines under the second round of "double first-class" construction, and 145 Universities across the country were listed. Among them, 36 colleges and universities in three provinces and one city in the Yangtze River Delta region (Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Anhui) were selected, accounting for 25% of the country.
How to make good use of and give full play to the "sophisticated" resources has always been an important proposition discussed by the governments of the four places. In recent years, colleges and universities in the Yangtze River Delta have established discipline alliances, Yangtze River Delta research institutes, cross regional school local cooperation and coordination centers, etc. they not only become the vanguard of regional high-quality development, but also innovate and play, injecting "accelerator" into the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta.
data:
36 "double first-class" colleges and universities account for 1 / 4 of the country
"Since ancient times, there are many talented people in Jiangnan". They attach importance to education and develop education, which has been flowing in the context of Jiangnan. Today, as one of the regions with the most active economic development, the highest degree of openness and the strongest innovation ability, the three provinces and one city in the Yangtze River Delta, located in the core area of the south of the Yangtze River, also has a luxurious array of higher education resources.
In terms of quantity, according to the statistical data of the Ministry of education in 2021, there are 2738 colleges and universities in China. Among them, there are 63 institutions in Shanghai, 167 in Jiangsu, 109 in Zhejiang and 120 in Anhui. Three provinces and one city account for 16.7% of the total number of institutions of higher learning in China.
in terms of quality, in the newly released list of "double first-class" construction universities and disciplines, 36 universities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Anhui were selected, accounting for 25% of the country. Among them, 30 (14 + 16) Universities in Shanghai and Jiangsu were selected, accounting for 20% of the country and 83% of the Yangtze River Delta.
There are 148 "first-class disciplines" selected by three provinces and one city, involving mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, crop science, computer science and technology, electronic science and technology, aerospace science and technology, material science, environmental science, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, water conservancy engineering, communication engineering, mining engineering Food science and engineering.
Specifically, these "first-class disciplines" include basic disciplines such as science, engineering, literature, history and philosophy, as well as new science, new engineering and new liberal arts involving interdisciplinary disciplines. At the same time, there are both highlands and peaks. Among them, the total number of first-class disciplines of seven universities, including Shanghai Jiaotong University, Fudan University, Tongji University, Nanjing University, Southeast University, Zhejiang University and University of science and technology of China, reached 106, accounting for 71% of the number of first-class disciplines in the Yangtze River Delta.
The reporter learned that in addition to one quarter of the "double first-class" universities in China, the Yangtze River Delta also has two comprehensive national science centers in Zhangjiang, Shanghai and Hefei, Anhui, a number of state key laboratories and national engineering research centers, 19 research institutions of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and more than 350 academicians of the two academies. It is also one of the earliest areas in China to explore Sino foreign cooperation in running schools, It has also explored and established some new universities with distinctive characteristics, which has the foundation to build a world-wide highland of higher education.
Thanks to this, the four regions have formed competitive leading industries in the layout of industrial structure, such as machinery manufacturing, information technology, intelligent equipment manufacturing, semiconductor, medicine, new energy, etc. the four regions have gradually formed a situation of orderly division of labor, misplaced competition and comprehensive cooperation in multiple industrial chains.
Insiders believe that this set of data also reflects the imbalance of regional development. High quality university resources in the Yangtze River Delta are highly concentrated in provincial capital cities and core cities. There are also some regions with relatively slow development in various provinces, such as northern Jiangsu, Northern Anhui and Southwest Zhejiang, which are not effectively radiated by the vigorous development of higher education in the region, This is also an urgent problem to be solved in the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta.
ice breaking:
regional integration colleges and universities as pioneers
Colleges and universities are not only the internal driving force of local scientific and technological and economic development, but also the vanguard of promoting the development of regional integration. At the end of 2019, the outline of the development plan for regional integration in the Yangtze River Delta issued by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council clearly stated that we should cooperate to expand the supply of high-quality education, promote the balanced development of education, and take the lead in realizing the modernization of regional education; Promote comprehensive cooperation and collaborative innovation among universities, colleges and universities, and jointly build a first-class university and first-class discipline with international influence.
In fact, as early as 2009, the three provinces and cities of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai established a consultation mechanism for the development of education cooperation in the Yangtze River Delta. In 2012, Anhui Province joined the Yangtze River Delta education cooperation. Over the past decade, three provinces and one city have continuously improved the regional education cooperation mechanism and signed dozens of cooperation agreements.
In December 2018, the third joint conference of Jiangsu Province and Shanghai on the integration of education development strategy in the Yangtze River Delta was held, It designs the system and mechanism for the accelerated development of regional education integration in the Yangtze River Delta.
In recent years, colleges and universities in the Yangtze River Delta have given full play to their professional expertise and led the establishment of professional research institutes in the Yangtze River Delta, such as the Yangtze River Delta Cultural Industry Development Research Institute of Nanjing University, the Yangtze River Delta carbon neutralization Strategy Development Research Institute of Southeast University, the healthy Yangtze River Delta Research Institute of Shanghai Jiaotong University, the Zhejiang Yangtze River Delta Integration Research Center, the Yangtze River Protection and Green Development Research Institute of Hehai University Nanjing Agricultural University, Yangtze River Delta Rural Revitalization Strategy Research Institute, etc.
Universities in the four places have also established university alliances with each other to share education, scientific research and human resources. For example, "exchange program of six universities in the Yangtze River Delta" implemented by Fudan University, Zhejiang University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Southeast University, Zhejiang University of technology and Zhejiang University of technology.
Zhejiang University initiated and cooperated with Fudan University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Nanjing University and University of science and technology of China to establish Yangtze River Delta Research University Alliance in Wuhu, Anhui Province.
The Yangtze River Delta Medical Education Alliance established by 10 medical colleges and universities, including Fudan University, Shanghai Medical College, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Shanghai University of traditional Chinese medicine and Nanjing Medical University.
There are also the Yangtze River Delta high-level industry characteristic University Alliance, the Yangtze River Delta Applied Undergraduate University Alliance, the Yangtze River Delta university technology transfer alliance, the Yangtze River Delta university academy alliance, and the Yangtze River Delta G60 science and innovation corridor high-level applied university collaborative innovation alliance.
try:
school enterprise cooperation and school land integration
at the same time, the cross regional school enterprise cooperation and school land integration of three provinces and one city have also blossomed one after another. for example, the Anhui ceramic aluminum New Material Research Institute of Shanghai Jiaotong University, located in Huaibei, Anhui Province, has carried out political, industry, University and research cooperation among the people's Government of Huaibei, Anhui Province, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Shanghai Junyao (Group) Co., Ltd. and Anhui Xiangbang composite Material Co., Ltd., so that the ceramic aluminum new materials of Shanghai Jiaotong University can move from the laboratory to the market.
Nanjing University of information engineering, which has "first-class discipline" atmospheric science, and Nanjing Jiangbei new area jointly planned to build China's first "Meteorological Valley" covering an area of 38000 square meters around the University, so as to build a whole industrial chain of meteorological service industry integrating education and training, project research and development, achievement transformation and enterprise incubation. Nanxin University also signed a contract with Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co.Ltd(002415) to jointly build a video perception - Nanxin University sub center of the national new generation artificial intelligence open innovation platform.
new schools jointly run by strong countries have also emerged in the Yangtze River Delta. such as Changzhou Institute of industrial technology of Zhejiang University and Deqing alpha Innovation Research Institute founded by China University of science and technology in Zhejiang; Nanjing University cooperates with Suzhou municipal government to build the Suzhou campus of Nanjing University, and Nanjing University of information engineering cooperates with Tianchang City, Anhui Province to build Jinniu Lake Industry Education Integration park. Zhejiang College of Tongji University (located in Jiaxing), which is jointly organized by Tongji University, Hongda Holding Group Co., Ltd. and Jiaxing Education Development Investment Co., Ltd., and Zhejiang College of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics (located in Jinhua), which is jointly organized by Jinhua Zhezhong education group and Shanghai University of Finance and economics.
In addition, in order to further activate production and education resources and promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, the Yangtze River Delta has successively established various experimental fields such as independent innovation pilot area, ecological green integrated development demonstration area and southern Jiangsu national independent innovation demonstration area, so as to "test first" and contribute wisdom to the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta. In the future, a new round of policies such as revitalizing science and education resources and supporting the orderly flow of talents across provinces will also be implemented, and the "reservoir" effect of talents in Colleges and universities will gradually appear, helping the better development of the Yangtze River Delta.
