On October 10, Qiu Limin, President of Zhejiang Normal University, led a delegation to the Jinhua Intelligent Manufacturing Research Institute for a specialized survey on its operational development. The delegation gained in-depth insights into the institute's overall progress in platform construction, technological innovation, achievement transformation, social services, and talent cultivation. The visit provided strategic guidance and clear direction for the institute's future development.
During the investigation, Qiu Limin and his delegation visited the institute's exhibition hall, intelligent manufacturing studios, and offices of resident enterprises. Through on-site inspections, they gained detailed understanding of the institute's achievements and progress in supporting local industrial development, promoting the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, facilitating innovation and entrepreneurship for faculty and students, and assisting talent cultivation. They showed particular interest in the institute's practical explorations that address the needs of both the university and the local community while deepening its expertise in the intelligent manufacturing field.
Following the on-site inspection, an investigation symposium was held in the conference room of the Research Institute. Qiu Limin encouraged the institute to draw inspiration from the "Four Thousand Spirits" of Zhejiang merchants, urging it to take proactive measures and strive for excellence in driving innovation, breakthroughs, and industrial upgrading in the field of intelligent manufacturing. He outlined three key requirements for the high-quality development of the institute:First, it should precisely align with market demands and enhance brand influence. This involves deepening research on intelligent manufacturing enterprises in the Jinhua area to accurately match their needs, while also boosting industry impact and social visibility through diverse channels such as public outreach and talent recruitment collaborations between the university, local authorities, and enterprises.Second, it must strengthen internal drive to achieve sustainable development. While relying on government support, the institute should improve internal incentive mechanisms to stimulate team enthusiasm and creativity, thereby enhancing its self-sustaining capabilities.Third, it should seize high-quality platforms to solidify its development foundation. This includes actively applying for key government-supported platforms such as concept verification centers and pilot testing bases, broadening funding channels, enriching platform capabilities, and elevating its industry standing.
Relevant leaders of the Intelligent Research Institute reported on the overall operational development of the institute, covering aspects such as platform management, work achievements, and future development plans. They elaborated in detail on the institute’s functional positioning and core value.In terms of fostering industry-education integration, the institute has established a crucial platform for teachers to engage in enterprise practices. By enhancing teachers’ practical experience, it enriches classroom teaching and contributes to the continuous improvement of education quality.Regarding enterprise support, the institute actively aligns with corporate needs, promoting technological research, development, and the application of scientific achievements. This injects strong momentum into the high-quality development of enterprises.In the area of talent cultivation and employment assistance, the institute has built a solid foundation for student innovation and entrepreneurship.
