Due to geographical disadvantage, the western 985 has moved south and eastward to other places in recent years. Beijing and Shanghai are 985, a first-tier city and a national higher education center, and still choose to expand their territory and plan for national development.
In just one or two months, Tsinghua University has planned to cooperate with Fujian, Peking University , Jingdezhen, Beijing Normal University has settled in Hefei, Shanghai Jiaotong University , Sichuan and Chongqing, Fudan and Tongji University , and Beijing and Shanghai 985 is not attached to the one-acre three-point land under its feet.
In the "land grabbing" of 985 universities, the construction research institute has become the mainstream cooperation method, and the disciplines are also biased towards applied disciplines closely integrated with local industries, integrating the advantageous resources of both schools and localities, becoming a popular model for running schools in famous schools.
"Horse-Running Land"
is about to close, and Beijing and Shanghai 985 is busy "Horse-Running Land" across the country.
On December 2, the unveiling ceremony of Tsinghua University Smart Medical Research Institute was held, and was jointly built by Tsinghua University and Zhuhai People's Hospital Medical Group. On November 6, Beijing Normal University and Hefei joined hands to jointly build Beijing Normal University Hefei Research Institute .
Peking University was divided into two groups and came to Jiangxi from October 17 to 18. Peking University Jingdezhen Research Institute was officially unveiled. On November 21, Peking University signed a cooperation agreement with Chongqing Hi-tech Zone to establish Peking University Chongqing Big Data Research Institute .
The 985 universities in Shanghai are not idle either. On November 25, Shanghai Jiaotong University and Chengdu joined hands to lay out the Shanghai Jiaotong University (Chengdu) graduate training base . As early as June, Shanghai Jiaotong University signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Chongqing City to build Shanghai Jiaotong University Chongqing Research Institute .
Fudan and Tongji University in the same city "coincidence". On October 27, Tongji University and Fujian Province exchanged views on further deepening provincial-school cooperation. On the same day, Fudan University also continued to work with Fujian Province to cooperate with talent. Previously, Fudan University also planned to be in Yiwu, Zhejiang, and on August 21, Fudan University Yiwu Research Institute was officially unveiled.
The development of colleges and universities is no longer limited to the city where they are located. In recent years, the West 985 has not wanted to sit in the troubled city and has entered the southeast. Seven 985 universities in the west have opened southeast China, and more than one has been opened.
html In November and July, the University of Electronic Science and Technology signed the agreement to jointly build the Yangtze River Delta Research Institute (Quzhou) and (Huzhou) of the University of Electronic Science and Technology respectively. The first batch of graduate students from its Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Studies will start in September.
Lanzhou University opened up this year, and on May 8, the head of the Shenzhen Research Institute was recruited to send a clear signal to the outside world. From October 10 to 12, the Lanzhou University-Putian City New Era Cooperation and Co-construction Strategy Seminar was planned to establish the Putian Research Institute of Lanzhou University.
Xi'an University of Electronic Science and Technology is not 985, but it is the earliest and most frequent university in western universities to enter the southeast. Research institutes have been established in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Ningbo , Kunshan , Wuhu , and Qingdao. On November 9, the school joined hands with Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou and will jointly build the Hangzhou Research Institute.
Peacock South Flying
meets existing resources or is equivalent to being in a hurry. To build " double first-class ", 985 universities have intensively established off-site research institutions. The original intention of the "Double First-Class" design is to change the situation where resources are tilted towards fixed 985 and 211 universities, and there will be in and out in the future.
Just after the first batch of "Double First-Class" list was announced, the Ministry of Education announced the results of the fourth round of discipline evaluation of in the country. The evaluation of disciplines such as Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an University of Electronic Science and Technology, and Northwest A&F University all declined, and pressure followed. This year is the final year of the "Double First-Class" evaluation. In order to face the selection, it is quite helpless to enter the Southeast.
Beijing and Shanghai are already well-known schools, and the limited land makes it difficult for 985s to stretch their feet. In 2016, the Beijing Municipal Education Commission announced that during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, Beijing will no longer expand the scale of education, and universities in Beijing will no longer increase their area or expand their campuses.
Looking at the cities where 985 universities run schools in different places, is almost all located in the south. Even if you don’t go to the southern provincial capital or the most economically developed cities, you will actively seek development of in the surrounding areas, such as Zhuhai (Tsinghua), Jingdezhen (Peking University), Yiwu (Fudan), Putian (Landa), Quzhou and Huzhou (United University of Electronic Science and Technology of China).
Universities leverage urban economy, cities attract scientific research resources, allocate and integrate, and complement each other. According to GDP data in the first three quarters of 2020, the top 10 Chinese cities occupied 9 seats in the south, and only Beijing was left in the north. Public opinion hotly discussed "the major changes in the north and south that have not been seen in a century."
As China's economic center of gravity moves southward, higher education is also undergoing this displacement. The current education layout was basically formed in the adjustment of colleges and departments in the 1950s. At that time, a comprehensive layout was made based on the construction of various major regions, and a higher education structure with a complete range of disciplines was built in central cities in each region, such as the Northeast and the Northwest.
Shaanxi is a major province in northwestern higher education. Xi'an Jiaotong University, Northwest Polytechnical University , and Northwest A&F University 3 985 are located here, which is the top in the country. Xi'an is the higher education center in the northwest region. As of the end of 2019, there were 75 higher education schools in the city.
With the rise of 985 universities, Guangdong has built a nest to attract phoenixes with the geographical advantages of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area , especially Shenzhen is the rising star .
Ministry of Education and Guangdong Provincial People's Government recently jointly issued the "Plan for Promoting Higher Education Cooperation and Development in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area", which has made a top-level design for the cooperation and development of higher education in the Greater Bay Area, and made it clear that by 2035, the Greater Bay Area will build several world-class universities.
Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are both first-tier cities, but in terms of higher education resources, Shenzhen is not online. Today, 10 985 universities, including Tsinghua University, Peking University, Renmin University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Shandong University, Xiamen University, , Hu University, Nankai University, Lanzhou University, and Northwest Agriculture and Forestry, have all set up research institutes in Shenzhen.
One city, one school
Colleges and universities cooperate with cities, and construction research institutes have become the mainstream method.
Zhou Guangli, director of the Evaluation Research Center of Renmin University of China, pointed out to China News Weekly that the main reason for the establishment of research institutes in famous schools in other places is that the Ministry of Education does not allow branch schools or undergraduates in other places, so it has become the main form to run research institutes in other places. The institute can recruit graduate students, do applied scientific research, and transform scientific and technological achievements. The Ministry of Education does not support the comprehensive multidisciplinary branch model. In November 2019, the Ministry of Education once again emphasized in its "Reply to Recommendation No. 2647 of the Second Session of the 13th National People's Congress" that there are many insurmountable problems in running schools in , and in principle, is not encouraged.
Construction Research Institute wins multiple goals in one fell swoop. Higher education in modern society is deeply influenced by external society. How to greatly expand resources is related to the survival and development of every university. With the input of resources, the research institute can publish more papers and produce more scientific research results.
At the same time, the research institutes with off-site layout echo local development needs, and disciplines tend to be applied disciplines that are closely integrated with local industries. As a top university, 985 universities have the conditions and abilities that other institutions do not have in scientific research, and introduction is the engine.
One city and one school, mutual success. Zhou Guangli believes that now universities are moving from closed to open, and interacting with cities to active. Against this background, emphasizes that universities should be coupled with regional economic development and explore the efficient allocation of higher education resources and cities.
The expansion pace of university research institutes not only reminds people of the previous wave of colleges and universities rushing to medical schools. Because colleges and universities have a heavy weight in scientific research, the medical field accounts for an increasingly large proportion in scientific research. There is a saying that "those who get medical schools win the world of scientific research."
Whether it is the Grab the Beach Research Institute or the Medical College, is this the connotation of running a university? Professor Wen Dongmao from Peking University School of Education told China Newsweek that the key is whether it is real or fake. should encourage cooperation between universities and localities, but it should encourage true cooperation with .
Zhou Guangli believes that the expansion of 985 universities in other places is mainly to expand school management resources, and is a resource-based organizational change, which is related to the changes in school management resources of universities after the popularization of higher education.
In the era of popularization, university management resources will transform from relying on the government to society and itself. This is a form of university extension development .
