China News Service, Beijing, February 27 (Reporter Gao Kai) On the 27th, the unveiling ceremony of the Institute of Interdisciplinary Sciences of Renmin University of China (hereinafter referred to as the Interdisciplinary Institute) and the first International Symposium on Interdisciplinary Sciences were held in Beijing.
It is reported that the academy will cultivate emerging interdisciplinary disciplines around key areas such as digital economy, blockchain, artificial intelligence, and national governance, and create a “digital social science” cluster with artificial intelligence, big data, and blockchain as the underlying architecture, and carry out cross-disciplinary research. The training of doctoral students will make original contributions to my country's interdisciplinary research and interdisciplinary construction.
At the unveiling ceremony, Zhang Donggang, Secretary of the Party Committee of Renmin University of China, said that the establishment of the Interdisciplinary Research Institute will base on comprehensive advantages, coordinate and integrate high-quality resources inside and outside the school, create new "discipline special zones" and "talent training special zones", and accelerate the promotion of interdisciplinary integration. With the construction of new liberal arts, we will strive to become a strategic growth point and a new driving engine for the new round of "double first-class" construction of the school. Promote the development of philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics, Chinese style, and Chinese style, and serve the Chinese-style modernization drive and cultural self-reliance and self-improvement.
According to reports, in terms of discipline construction, the Interdisciplinary Institute will be based on the "double first-class" interdisciplinary major innovation planning platform system, aiming at the strategic development needs of the party and the country, highlighting the interdisciplinary characteristics of humanities and science, focusing on the field of digital social science, and clarifying "digital + economy" "Digital + Governance" and "Digital + Humanities", the three key directions of mathematics and social sciences, will focus on producing national leading landmark achievements in the intersection of humanities and science.
In terms of talent training, the Interdisciplinary Institute will actively promote multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary talent cultivation under the background of new technologies, further break down the barriers of colleges, disciplines, and majors, and carry out pilot work for the cultivation of interdisciplinary doctoral students. Allocate the enrollment quota for doctoral students, and gradually carry out the cultivation of compound undergraduate and master talents.
In terms of faculty construction, the Interdisciplinary Institute will recruit strategic scientists and chief experts from home and abroad to build about 5 excellent interdisciplinary teams with high research level, great development potential and strong strategic focus; Responsibility system, implement the pilot of the dual employment system for chief experts in the school, and solidly promote the management mechanism of the long-term employment system.
In terms of achievement recognition and rewards, explore new methods for the recognition of collaborative innovation achievements, and explore the implementation of a dedication-oriented assessment-reward system.
After the unveiling ceremony, the first International Symposium on Interdisciplinary Science of Renmin University of China was held. Experts and scholars from Stanford University, University of Illinois at Chicago, Oxford University, University of Melbourne, University of Tokyo, Peking University, Tsinghua University and many other universities and research institutions Explore the innovative cross-integration mechanism, the interdisciplinary and interdisciplinary talent training mechanism, and the management and evaluation mechanism to conduct exchanges and discussions.
It is understood that Renmin University of China is one of the earliest universities to carry out interdisciplinary talent training. So far, it has 5 double-baccalaureate programs, 17 interdisciplinary experimental classes, 18 honorary minor programs, and 10 interdisciplinary doctoral students.
In recent years, the school has explored the intersection of disciplines in many research fields such as socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics, blockchain and digital economy, smart agriculture and rural revitalization, scientific and technological revolution and future rule of law, and achieved important results.
According to reports, in the future, the Interdisciplinary Research Institute will adhere to the construction idea of "big platform, big team, big cross, big collaboration, big project", adhere to "problem orientation, project traction, platform support, team collaboration", and highlight the in-depth integration of humanities and sciences The core characteristics of the university are to build a high-level interdisciplinary team with high research level, great development potential and strong strategic focus by means of "revelation and leadership" and the dual-employment system for teachers. Professional barriers, promote the in-depth integration of natural sciences and humanities and social sciences, cultivate emerging interdisciplinary disciplines around key areas such as digital economy, blockchain, artificial intelligence, national governance, and national security, and promote interdisciplinary collaboration between government, industry, academia, and research, for the school. Constructing the discipline layout of "leading Marxist theoretical disciplines, excellent basic disciplines, top social science disciplines, and innovative interdisciplinary disciplines", making key contributions to the progress of interdisciplinary and interdisciplinary undertakings in my country, and contributing to national construction It has made historic contributions to strengthening the country through higher education, prospering philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics, and realizing scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance.
