Towards the construction of a world-class university innovation system
Date:2021-07-07

Innovation is the first driving force for development and the fundamental way to break through development bottlenecks and solve deep-seated contradictions and problems. University is an important element of the national innovation system. Building and perfecting the national innovation system and accelerating the construction of an innovative country are inseparable from the construction of the university innovation system.

As an important source of knowledge and technology in human society and an important carrier for the inheritance and innovation of human civilization, universities play an extremely critical role in the development and progress of human society. Building a world-class university innovation system is not only an important content of advancing the construction of an innovative country and an objective requirement for strengthening the country's strategic scientific and technological strength, but also the only way to achieve high-quality development of higher education.

The innovation system of world-class universities has its specific connotations, and its main contents include healthy academic ecology, effective academic governance, first-class academic achievements, and first-class talent training. A healthy academic ecology can not only provide ample academic innovation elements and sufficient nutrients for the university innovation system, but also help to fully stimulate and release the creative vitality of each element, and ensure the healthy operation and continuous innovation of the university innovation system. Effective academic governance helps to respond to the demands of various stakeholders to participate in the university decision-making process in the large-scale development of universities, balance and coordinate the allocation of university decision-making power among various stakeholders, and promote the realization of the vision of good governance in academic governance , To provide strong support for the construction and development of the innovation system of world-class universities. The production of first-class original scientific research results is the core goal and essential requirement of the innovation system of world-class universities. Cultivating first-class talents is an important foundation and basic feature of building a world-class university. Only a university that has cultivated world-class talents can be a world-class university in the true sense.

The world-class university innovation system is a multi-level, multi-element, and multi-field comprehensive system. To build a world-class university innovation system, it is necessary to concentrate and rationally allocate various innovative resources and elements on the basis of scientific planning, and establish and improve The governance system and operating mechanism have significantly improved and fully released the innovative capabilities and vitality of each innovative element.

First, it is necessary to build a discipline system that meets the requirements of the innovation system of world-class universities. Discipline is an important carrier of knowledge production and knowledge creation, and a scientific and reasonable discipline system is an important guarantee for the shaping of innovation ability and the cultivation of innovative talents. To build a world-class university innovation system, it is necessary to build a discipline system that matches it. Under the current strategic background of promoting the construction of "double first-class" universities in my country, on the one hand, we must accelerate the improvement of disciplines, continue to adjust the discipline structure, and continuously optimize the discipline layout; on the other hand, we must use the "catalyst" of interdisciplinary integration to strengthen the foundation Disciplinary training capabilities, break the barriers of disciplines, accelerate the construction of new engineering, new medical, new agricultural, and new liberal arts, and significantly improve original innovation capabilities, scientific research capabilities in key areas, and training capabilities for talents that are in short supply.

Second, it is necessary to improve the academic governance system that adapts to the laws of technological innovation and higher education development. Persist in and improve the system and mechanism to implement the fundamental task of Lide cultivating people, deeply understand the theoretical connotation of Lide cultivating people, and scientifically construct the practical system of Lide cultivating people. Adhere to and improve the modern university system with Chinese characteristics, improve the internal governance structure of the university, and effectively promote the modernization of the university governance system and governance capabilities. Explore the construction of a new relationship between the university, the government and society, create a diversified new path of participation and cooperation, and stimulate the innovation of the grassroots organization with a strong grassroots governance structure by creating a multi-type and flexible grassroots teaching organization, scientific research organization and service organization vitality. Promote intelligent university academic governance, optimize governance efficiency, promote university governance cultural innovation, and shape the spiritual guidance of the world-class university innovation system. Deepen the reform of the university evaluation system, build a quality contribution-oriented education evaluation system, and further clarify the direction of the construction of a world-class university innovation system.

Third, it is necessary to establish a deep integration and innovation system of production, education and research that promotes the transformation of university scientific and technological achievements. Compared with enterprises and scientific research institutes, universities have specific advantages in creativity, basic research, and applied research, but they are not good at innovation follow-up links such as technology deepening, pilot testing, and commercialization. Therefore, promoting the transformation of university scientific and technological achievements is crucial to the implementation of innovation-driven development strategies. The functional mission of universities to serve the society through scientific research and personnel training should be highlighted, so as to provide the most urgently needed and most advanced innovative results for economic and social development. Accelerate the reform of the scientific research management system, increase the income distribution ratio of scientific research personnel in the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and encourage and promote scientific research personnel to continuously produce innovative results and transform them. Attach importance to and promote close cooperation between universities, enterprises, scientific research institutions, etc., and build a service platform for the transformation of university scientific and technological achievements. Explore the establishment of specialized technology transfer institutions, in-depth implementation of various national and local policies and measures for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and enhance the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements of universities. Improve the university personnel management system that is conducive to the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and establish and improve the system of on-the-job part-time, off-post start-up and return of scientific and technical personnel. In addition, we should adhere to open cooperation, strengthen international exchanges, and actively build a platform for cooperation between Chinese and foreign universities to jointly respond to global challenges and promote the common well-being of mankind.

University is not only a leader of social and cultural trends, but also an important source of knowledge and scientific and technological achievements in human society. World-class universities are an important engine for innovation-driven development. Accelerating the construction of a world-class university innovation system and leading the national innovation system with a world-class university innovation system are not only the inherent need for the high-quality development of higher education, but also technological innovation and economic society. Objective requirements for development.
