The circle of friends is very lively in the past two days, all by a heavy news screen - the new area and Nanjing University signed a strategic cooperation agreement. In the agreement.The expectations and visions of both sides are pragmatic and concrete, to build campuses and platforms together, but also to build transformation carriers and expand industrial cooperation.
It can be seen that both sides are taking practical actions to make the "research" of the top universities and the "production" of the state-level new areas to further deepen the connection, and better carry out the implementation of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation in depth integration of this grand proposition of the historical mission.
Returning to the collaboration itself, there are many more implications to ponder.
From the perspective of the new district, this cooperation is a heavy upgrade of the regional innovation ecosystem.According to the cooperation agreement, NTU will promote the biochemical medicine discipline group collectively stationed in the new area, which will form a high degree of compatibility with the industrial direction of the new area, and provide the regional biomedical industry clusters with the whole chain of support from basic research to technology development.
As a state-level new area, Jiangbei New Area is making every effort to build a modernized industrial system, and the intellectual support of high-level universities is the key. Therefore, the new zone has always maintained deep friendship and far-reaching cooperation with universities.
For example, since last year, Dongda University, China Pharmaceutical University, NIT, NIT, NIT, Tianjin University and other well-known universities inside and outside the region, one after another with the new area to reach a strategic cooperation, a batch after a batch of laboratory innovations successively focus on Jiangbei.
Another example, Jiangsu Province and the Ministry of Education jointly built the first national university regional technology transfer center Nanjing Biomedical Branch Center, fell in the new area of biomedical valley, become a link between the new area and the country's universities and high-quality resources of a strong "symbol".
Again from the perspective of Nanjing University, hand in hand with Jiangbei is also a powerful move across the development.Colleges and universities are responsible for science and technology innovation, and top universities have been laying out emerging disciplines to create richer growth points. The same is true of the cooperation between NU and the University of Southern California.
In the future, NTU will build a number of new colleges and physical research institutions in the new district, vigorously introduce outstanding talents from home and abroad, systematically carry out undergraduate and graduate training, and create a highland of innovation in the field of chemical industry and biomedicine.
Behind this partnership, moreover, reflects an important change in the relationship between the university and the city.In the new area and NU "hand in hand", "integration" is the main theme - the new area of biomedical industry is strong, NU will be here in the new biochemical medicine cluster, integrated into the urban texture of the Innovation node.
The virtuous circle of "innovation-application-reinvention", will be formed here.
Imagine a scene like this:Nanda's laboratory, researchers are tackling cell therapy technology; next door to the biomedical enterprises, are these technologies into products; not far from the scenic living room of Longwang Mountain, scientists and entrepreneurs in the cafe to collide with sparks of thought ...... This innovation ecology, is the core of regional competitiveness.
It is worth mentioning that this cooperation took place in the critical period when the high-quality development of Jiangbei New Area ushered in a new wind mouth. Since last year, the State Council approved "Nanjing City Land Space Master Plan (2021-2035)" clear Jiangbei new main city positioning; the provincial party committee, the provincial government issued "on the support of Nanjing Jiangbei New District high-quality construction of the opinions", the municipal party committee, the municipal government to develop on the implementation of the provincial support opinions of the "implementation program".
Heavy favorites, one after the other, are happening in this fertile land.
This new area and NU hand in hand is a new chapter for the university and the city to move forward together. When the innovative genes of NU are injected into the development of Jiangbei New Area, and when the industrial demand of Jiangbei pulls the scientific research direction of NU, a surprising chemical reaction will surely erupt.
We are looking forward to the new story of Schoolhouse Road 8 in the future.
