Zhu Jian delivers a report

In conveying the spirit of the first meeting，Zhu Jian pointed out that over the past year, the university has pursued high-quality development under the guidance of high-level Party building, and achieved remarkable results in all undertakings. He stressed that in the new year we should carry out our work in four aspects.

First, focus on the core task of striving for doctoral programs, and consolidate a solid foundation for the university development. We must raise our political stance, and deeply understand the important strategic value and significance of pursuing doctoral programs. It is the “core engine” to upgrade the university’s educational level, the “responsibility” to serve national and regional development, and the “banner of endeavor” that unites the consensus of the whole university; We must face up to gaps and weaknesses, clearly recognize the severe situation and practical challenges in the application for doctoral programs, and tackle the “tough bones” with a problem-driven attitude; We must clarify the proper approaches for a better specific work system, adopt a precise wall-chart system to manage implementation, innovate incentive assessment mechanisms, and take targeted efforts to make up for core shortcomings and solve key problems.

Second, vigorously implement the implementation of inspection rectification, and forge a strong and effective governance system. The first half of 2026 is a golden period for rectification, with tight time, heavy tasks and high requirements. The whole university must adopt a holistic approach, integrate immediate rectification with long-term institutional improvement, and take responsibility for the implementation with a pragmatic work style, making sure that every rectification measure can deliver tangible results. In this way, we can boost the high-quality development of the university, and enhance the sense of gain, happiness and security of teachers and students.

Third, foster a clean and upright political atmosphere, and build strong synergy for our undertakings. It must be deeply understood that a sound political atmosphere is a “magnet” that unites people, a “booster” that drives initiative, and a “purifier” that cleanses problems. We must strictly abide by the bottom line of discipline, adhere to the principle of seeking truth from facts, maintain unity and coordination, and steadily cultivate a sound political environment to provide a strong guarantee for the high-quality development of the university.

Fourth, strictly abide by discipline and rules, and always maintain preserve our political integrity. We must always constrain our words and deeds with the Party Constitution, rules and disciplines, internalize the principles of “observing disciplines, following rules, and holding the bottom line” in our minds and externalize them in our actions.

Zhu stressed that the university is currently at a critical stage of making breakthroughs in key tasks. He hoped that everyone would take this meeting as an opportunity to further strengthen confidence, boost morale, vigorously promote the “Six-Dedication” work style, carry forward the reclamation spirit, gather harmonious strengths, focus on pursuing development and entrepreneurship, and devote energy to ensuring effective implementation. With the determination to tackle tough challenges and the momentum to achieve breakthroughs, we should endeavor to compose a new chapter in the university’s high-quality development and strive for the early realization of the strategic goals of “upgrading to a university and applying for doctoral programs”.

Strengthen political responsibility and implement rectification with high standards; focus on prominent problems and solve both symptoms and root causes systematically; consolidate responsibilities to strengthen coordination across the whole chain; integrate rectification into central tasks to improve its quality and effectiveness in an all-round way.

Fourth, we should fight an integration battle on scientific research and innovation to enhance the capacity of serving local development. Strive for upgrades in the platform level, breakthroughs in landmark achievements, and practical results in the transformation of scientific and technological achievements.

Fifth, we should fight a protracted battle on talent cultivation to build a regional talent hub. Take concrete steps in targeted talent recruitment, break new ground in university-enterprise collaborative cultivation, and seek efficiency through institutional innovation.

Sixth, we should fight an expansion battle in opening-up and cooperation to deepen the university-city symbiotic development. Seek breakthroughs in cooperation platforms, deepen collaborative services, improve the quality of continuing education, and expand international cooperation.
