How to effectively promote discipline construction? ——Dialogue with Vice President Lin Guijun
w88 casino News(Reporter Haoyue) Discipline construction is the productivity of w88 casino development. What are the new plans for discipline construction this year? How to effectively promote discipline construction? What are the difficult issues in subject construction? With questions that everyone is concerned about, the reporter interviewed Vice President Lin Guijun.
Reporter:Since the w88 casino’s 10th Party Congress put forward the strategic policy of “taking discipline construction as the goal to unite people and realize the w88 casino’s leap-forward development”, strengthening discipline construction and improving the level of w88 casino running have become the most concerned, practical and important interests of the teachers and students of the w88 casino,What new changes do you think the w88 casino has made in subject construction?
Lin Guijun:Since the w88 casino put forward the strategic policy of discipline construction, discipline construction has been placed in a prominent position, bringing vitality and vitality to the development of the discipline. The most obvious changes are that the teaching staff in related disciplines has been strengthened, published results have increased, and the quality of the results has improved. The w88 casino’s disciplines and majors have obvious comparative advantages in internationalization, and some disciplines and majors have obvious comparative advantages. Last year, the w88 casino achieved a major breakthrough in the number of doctoral degree-granting points in first-level disciplines. The number of doctoral and master's degree-granting points increased, and the interdisciplinary and integration capabilities between disciplines were further enhanced.
Reporter:What are the main tasks of discipline construction this year?
Lin Guijun:The current discipline construction work mainly has three aspects:
1. Do a good job in the assessment, evaluation and supplementation of national key disciplines. In accordance with the spirit of the "Opinions of the Ministry of Education on Strengthening the Construction of National Key Disciplines" and the requirements of the "Measures for the Construction and Management of National Key Disciplines", we comprehensively summarize the completion of the two national key discipline construction plans of "International w88" and "International Law" at w88 casino, and strive to pass the assessment with excellent results to ensure that International w88 is first-class in the country and international law continues to be among the national key disciplines. Strengthen the construction of two key disciplines in Beijing and make full preparations for entering the ranks of national key disciplines.
2. Strive to make greater progress in the new round of degree point application. According to w88 casino's "2007Year Doctoral Program Application Work Plan", following the guidelines of "seeking truth from facts, promoting construction through application", in order to2007year9As a target, we will carefully organize the application work for the eleventh batch of degree authorization points, and include Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language in the degree point application plan, and strive to obtain more first- and second-level discipline doctoral degree authorization points, postdoctoral mobile stations, and more disciplines and professional master's degree authorization points.
3. Promulgate and implement the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan for Discipline and Teacher Construction” and implement the “Action Plan for Discipline Construction (IIstage)》. Clarify the strategic focus and promotion steps of discipline construction, highlight the characteristics of the discipline, integrate the advantages of the discipline, and form a discipline construction layout with outstanding advantages and distinctive characteristics.
Reporter:You just mentioned the doctoral program application process. I noticed that this year we only applied for the first-level doctoral program.4, which is the most in recent years. What do you think are the chances of a successful application?
Lin Guijun:Maybe this is an issue that everyone is more concerned about recently.Doctoral program application work from last year1Started in March, after more than a year of preparation, this year we have introduced law, business administration, theoretical economics, foreign languages and literature4The application process for doctoral programs in first-level disciplines has begun.At the same time, we are also actively organizing applications for second-level degree points。
In order to improve the overall reputation of w88 casino and complete w88 casino’s “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” goal of transforming from a teaching and research-oriented university to a research- and teaching-oriented university, we need to have enough first-level discipline doctoral programs as a supporting foundation. In recent years, w88 casino has attached great importance to the construction of subject points, and has increased support in terms of manpower, funds, equipment, etc. The training conditions of subject points have been greatly improved, and the quality of talent training has been significantly improved, which meets the application conditions. The principle of our application work is to "promote construction through application",Promote the rapid improvement of relevant disciplines through the application process and lay the foundation for future development. On the basis of building the existing degree authorization points, we should strive to obtain more first- and second-level discipline doctoral degree authorization points, postdoctoral mobile stations and more disciplines and professional master's degree authorization points，Achieve the goal of improving the level of running w88 casino and optimizing the layout of disciplines.
Reporter:Since w88 casino’s “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” discipline and faculty construction plan has not yet been released, everyone is not very clear about the strategic focus and promotion steps of discipline construction. Please talk about it.
Lin Guijun:w88 casino’s “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” discipline and teaching team construction plan has been revised many times and opinions have been widely solicited. It will be released in the near future. After the plan is released, our relevant action plans will also be released. The strategic focus of discipline construction during the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period is to "highlight the characteristics of w88 casino, optimize the layout of disciplines, and form a competitive discipline system with clear goals and aggregation of advantageous disciplines." In the past period, we mainly focused on applying for degree points and mobilizing the enthusiasm of relevant departments. In the future, our main task is to form a discipline system with outstanding characteristics, obvious advantages, reasonable layout, and strong comprehensive strength based on the needs of the country's social and economic development and the characteristics of w88 casino, and to build a multi-disciplinary subject group that can accurately identify the w88 casino's operating characteristics and reflect its unique research directions.
Reporter:What do you think is the most significant indicator of discipline construction?
Lin Guijun: A group of competitive subject groups that clearly reflects the characteristics and advantages of the w88 casino。
Reporter:How to build such a “discipline group”? What specific action plans does the w88 casino have?
Lin Guijun:Building a “discipline cluster” is actually building a platform and establishing a more flexible research mechanism. The specific action plan is: design and establish a multi-disciplinary research group across the w88 casino, implement a cooperative research plan with first-class scholars at Harvard University, introduce the "International Economics Research Center" of the University of Washington and the Technology Management Research Center of Northumbria University, and improve its cooperation with ChicagoLoyolaThe positioning of cooperation with the university's "Financial Risk and Governance" research center is to create a number of single-disciplinary and interdisciplinary research centers with flexible mechanisms in w88 casino. At the same time, give full play to the existing economic research institutes,WTOThe academic radiation function of three entity research institutions including the Research Institute and Beijing Small and Medium Enterprises Research Base; optimize the construction of scientific research results publication and exchange platform, vigorously promote international publication and domestic first-class journal publication; enhance the diversification and internationalization of financing channels, etc. Further carry out the demonstration work of “building advantageous subject groups under a common goal”.
Reporter:How to treat the problem of uneven development of different disciplines?
Lin Guijun: During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, discipline construction should continue to follow the principles of "highlighting characteristics, optimizing layout, key construction, and overall advancement" to consolidate the existing discipline characteristics of w88 casino, further break down discipline barriers, promote the construction of subject groups, and integrate existing resources across disciplines and departments according to social needs and w88 casino's conditions, promote the mutual penetration of related disciplines, and form a discipline system in which various disciplines collaborate, complement each other, and develop together.
Unbalanced development is mainly reflected in the fact that some disciplines have a high starting point and fast pace, while some disciplines have a low starting point and slow development. However, we are facing a severe situation, that is, advanced disciplines are not safe. If the pace of development slows down, it is likely that we will not be able to maintain our leading position in the country, and the gap with the international advanced level will widen. If our advanced subjects lose their edge, eventually schools will lose their distinctiveness. Therefore, making advanced disciplines truly advanced is very important in discipline construction and requires focused investment, construction, assessment and accountability.
For disciplines with a low starting point and slow development, the key is positioning. We need to explore a way to promote faster development through the cross-integration of existing disciplines and relying on the supporting relationships and agglomeration effects between disciplines. Like this year weParticipate in the construction of the doctoral program in finance by establishing a "Public Policy" doctoral guidance group in the w88 casino of Public Administration; establish " in the w88 casino of Humanities and Social SciencesIPE”(International Political Economy) PhD Steering Group, participates in the construction of the world economics doctoral program; establishes the “E-Commerce” PhD Steering Group in the w88 casino of Information, participates in the construction of the industrial economics doctoral program.
Reporter:What do you think is the difficulty in achieving the goal of subject construction?
Lin Guijun:How to further condense the discipline construction characteristics of w88 casino, reasonably position the direction of w88 casino's discipline construction, and continue to broaden our academic vision and w88 casino-running vision are the biggest difficulties for us to achieve our discipline construction goals.
State Councilor Chen Zhili emphasized at the 17th plenary meeting of the Universities Work Advisory Committee directly under the Ministry of Education: "Universities must position themselves reasonably, highlight the construction of superior disciplines, and strive to develop characteristics. Universities must reasonably choose a location that suits them based on the needs of economic and social development, as well as their own w88 casino-running traditions, resource conditions, and disciplinary advantages."
Discipline construction is like mountaineering. If a mountaineer cannot see the mountain in his field of vision, he will not be able to choose the direction and path of mountaineering. Why can industries in a region produce agglomeration effects? It lies in the characteristics. Therefore, it will be difficult for a w88 casino to develop if its academic vision and w88 casino-running vision are narrow and have no characteristics. We need to further discuss and demonstrate, prioritize and pool resources, and build a distinctive and cohesive "advantageous subject group".
Reporter:What do you think is the primary factor restricting the level of discipline construction in w88 casino?
Lin Guijun:Discipline construction is the key to the development of a w88 casino, and subject level is the primary factor that determines the level of a w88 casino. The level of disciplines is reflected in the quality of talents cultivated by colleges and universities and their ability to contribute knowledge and serve society. Social service is an important aspect. At present, the state emphasizes that high-level universities must provide high-quality social services, and we should follow this requirement. If colleges and universities want to improve their academic standards, it is not enough to just provide services. They must be positioned to provide high-quality social services. This requires us to further improve the subject level and at the same time focus on the positioning of services.
We must make full use of our geographical and traditional advantages to significantly improve the quality and level of social services. First of all, it is necessary to strengthen the relationship between w88 casino and the Ministry of Commerce, international large companies and international economic organizations, and then define second-level partners on this basis; in addition, it is also very important to improve service skills.
In short, we must proactively face the main battlefield of economic globalization, integrate disciplinary advantages, and solve hot and difficult issues that arise in the development of foreign economic and w88; seize the new theoretical and policy research topics brought about by the changes in foreign economic and w88 development, and improve foreign economic and w88 development. Only by cultivating the innovative ability of economic and w88 theory and cultivating foreign economic and w88 talents with international competitiveness can we enhance our ability to serve my country's economic construction and social development, realize the leap-forward development proposed in the w88 casino's 10th Party Congress and the "11th Five-Year Plan", and complete the mission of building a high-level university.
