Recently, our university has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with China's Zhongke Software Construction (Sichuan) Technology Research Institute. The two parties will engage in in-depth collaboration on several key fields, including artificial intelligence (AI), software development, architectural engineering, environmental engineering, and electrical engineering, to jointly drive breakthroughs in cutting-edge technological innovation and build a system for cultivating high-end interdisciplinary talents. This collaboration signifies a significant step forward in advancing global technological innovation and cross-regional industry-academia-research collaboration.
As a renowned comprehensive educational institution, our university has developed an education model characterized by the deep integration of industry, academia, and research in interdisciplinary fields such as computer science and technology, engineering, and applied sciences since its founding in 1979. By establishing university-enterprise cooperation platforms and introducing industrial practice projects, we have provided valuable opportunities for faculty and students to engage with cutting-edge technology and participate in practical projects. The success of this strategic partnership underscores our unwavering dedication to expanding its global network of scientific research collaborations and fostering international technological exchange and knowledge sharing, as evidenced by various international cooperation initiatives.
Zhongke Software Construction (Sichuan) Technology Research Institute is a new-type R&D institution jointly established by a group of accomplished researchers in China who have long been dedicated to technology R&D and technological innovation. As an emerging engine for technological innovation in western China, the institute focuses on upgrading key industries and deploying resources in emerging sectors. It has established a high-level interdisciplinary R&D team led by academicians and comprising doctors as its core members, equipped with world-class professional labs and engineering testing facilities. Strategic research directions encompass AI deep learning, IoT system integration, new energy technology development, and intelligent equipment manufacturing, mirroring the innovative focus of leading AI enterprises. The institute has established a comprehensive innovation chain, spanning basic research, application development, and industrial implementation, providing robust support for the commercialization of technological achievements and empowerment.
Under the cooperation agreement, the two parties will jointly establish cross-regional joint research teams, collaborate on significant scientific research projects, establish a coordinated mechanism for the transformation of achievements and the promotion of industrialization, and actively promote faculty exchanges, joint student cultivation, and curriculum resource sharing. This collaboration will effectively integrate the technological strengths and engineering practical experience of both parties, offering innovative solutions to global challenges such as climate change and industrial digital transformation. It serves as a key initiative in our university’s internationalization strategy and lays the foundation for the two parties to integrate technological strengths and engineering experience, and realize resource complementation.
In the future, we will further enrich the connotations of our cooperation and broaden its scope. We plan to establish joint laboratories, co-host international academic forums, and conduct research on technical standards, among other initiatives. These efforts will further integrate scientific research and educational resources, offering robust intellectual support and technical guarantees for enhancing the global technological innovation ecosystem and promoting industrial transformation and upgrading.
