Building a high-level teaching staff and deepening the integration of science and education will provide strong support for speeding up the construction of the world's important talent center and innovation highland. At present, we should take root in China, adhere to the socialist orientation of running schools, carry out the fundamental task of establishing morality and cultivating people, and follow the law. Systematically promoting and continuously deepening the " double-first-class " construction is the only way to realize the modernization of education, build a world-class university and serve the great cause of national rejuvenation.
Adhere to the socialist orientation of running a school and lead the construction of first-class university with first-class party construction.
President Xi Jinping pointed out that running China's higher education well, we must adhere to the party's leadership, firmly grasp the party's leadership of the work of colleges and universities, so that colleges and universities become a strong position to adhere to the party's leadership. Sticking to the socialist direction of running a school and deepening the first-class party construction are the fundamental guarantee for the construction of first-class universities. Tongji University, guided by the Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, closely around the fundamental task of cultivating people, we will earnestly promote the demonstration and quality of party building, and constantly open a new chapter in the construction of world-class universities with Chinese characteristics.
First, we will continue to strengthen political construction, firmly grasp the socialist orientation of running schools, and maintain a high degree of consistency with the party central committee in political and ideological action. Second, continuously strengthen the ideological construction, strengthen the construction of teachers' morality and style, and construct the top ten education system of " educating people with three qualities ". To guide the majority of teachers and students in the " double first-class " construction of ideological consensus. Third, continue to strengthen organizational construction, and further improve the " school-hospital-party branch " three-level grass-roots party building responsibility system, For the " double first-class " construction to do a good job in the organization. Fourth, continue to strengthen the style of construction, the development of " Tongji University middle-level cadres to perform their duties due to a number of opinions ", To build a political ecology of " double first-class ". Fifth, we will continue to strengthen discipline construction, strengthen risk prevention and control of clean government in key areas and key links, and promote " double-first-class " construction in the overall strict administration of the party.
At present, the school has formed a first-class party building leading the construction of first-class university good situation. The school was selected to build the first batch of national party building demonstration colleges and universities and passed the acceptance with excellent results, Selected the first batch of national " three all education " comprehensive reform pilot colleges and universities and in-depth comprehensive reform, selected to build the third batch of national key Marxist colleges, Awarded the national " civilized campus ", teachers and students take the initiative to practice the socialist core values.
Adhering to the goal of world-class construction and exploring the law of construction and development of first-class universities
One of the main goals of " double-first-class " construction is to form a group of world-class universities in China. The world first-class university should be the yearning place of the world's outstanding students, the cradle of top-notch innovative talents, and the gathering place of the world's top talents. It is also the original place for frontier scientific exploration, major scientific and technological discoveries and technological inventions. China's " double first-class " construction should adhere to the world-class construction goal, combined with China's reality, take root in China. Constantly explore the law of construction and development of first-class universities.
From the point of view of system science, the first-class university is a complex dynamic system. After receiving a high level of input from the government and society, After slow variables (such as personnel training, basic research, team building, cultural shaping, etc), medium variables (such as curriculum construction, teaching material construction, The coupling between laboratory construction and fast variables (such as social services, engineering applications, campus landscape construction, etc), To achieve all kinds of outstanding graduates, scientific research and other high-level results output. However, in the process of development, universities are subject to multiple constraints, such as capital, space, time, history, current situation and so on. At the same time, such a complex feedback system, its output effect will be fed back to the front end to adjust the input. Through the construction, inheritance and infiltration of the first-class university culture, we can build an academic community of cohesion and pursuit of excellence, and stimulate the inner vitality of teachers and students. It is the key factor to promote the construction of first-class universities. The construction of first-class universities should set up systematic concept, systematically think about the coupling effect of various variables and the output of results, and continuously improve and upgrade.
Adhere to the construction path of cross-integration to serve the major strategic needs of the country and the region
