China News Service, Chongqing, February 19th (Liu Huan) In recent years, many colleges and universities have chosen to set up research institutes in different places, with the important content of exporting high-quality talents and promoting government-industry-university-research cooperation to serve the transformation and upgrading of local industrial structures.
In the online theme publicity campaign of "Entering the Region to See Development: A New Chapter in Sichuan and Chongqing", Chinanews.com learned that the research institutes of Shanghai Jiaotong University, Harbin Institute of Technology and other universities have all landed in Liangjiang New District, Chongqing.
What are the characteristics of this area?
Why can it be favored by universities and researchers?
Local needs, universities have resources
In recent years, Liangjiang New Area has successively created three major innovation platforms, including Liangjiang Collaborative Innovation Zone, Lijiayuelai Smart Park, and Liangjiang Digital Economy Industrial Park, to promote the full burst of innovation vitality in the area.
In the Liangjiang Collaborative Innovation Zone, 50 first-class universities at home and abroad gather here, and more than 2,900 high-end scientific researchers write innovation chapters by the Mingyue Lake. 25 academician teams have been formed, and 21 municipal high-end R&D institutions have been approved. , 22 post-doctoral scientific research workstations above the municipal level.
Shanghai Jiao Tong University is one of these 50 universities.
In June 2020, the Chongqing Research Institute of Shanghai Jiao Tong University was inaugurated.
Combined with the local manufacturing industry base and relying on the superior resources of Shanghai Jiaotong University in the field of intelligent manufacturing, the research institute and the local government jointly build an intelligent manufacturing R&D center.

"There is local demand, and Jiaotong University has the ability." Wang Quanbao, deputy dean of the Chongqing Research Institute of Shanghai Jiaotong University, told Chinanews.com that Chongqing has attached great importance to the development of high-tech in recent years, while Shanghai Jiaotong University is good at technologies such as dual-carbon technology and artificial intelligence. By establishing a research institute and cooperating with local enterprises, it is possible to realize the industrial transformation of scientific research results and boost the local industrial transformation.
"Just like using good steel on a knife's edge, our school is a strong engineering school in the whole region, so we must use our corresponding advantageous disciplines to help the local development." Wang Quanbao said.
At present, Liangjiang Collaborative Innovation Zone has been established for scientific and technological research and development focusing on key industries in Liangjiang New Area, such as new energy and smart cars, robots and high-end equipment, aerospace, new generation information technology, quantum information, space communication, artificial intelligence, new materials, and life sciences. More than 100 platforms.
The high-end application technology research and development and key core technology breakthroughs in the Liangjiang Collaborative Innovation Zone will also usher in a "bundle harvest": in 2022, the world's first manned two-seat intelligent split flying vehicle engineering prototype will be launched, and the hydrogen-powered six-rotor UAV Successful maiden flight, the first air-ground integrated emergency airship equipped with 5G base stations in Chongqing successfully tested the flight, and the first phase of the "China Compound Eye" project was completed and put into use...
The relevant person in charge of the Mingyue Lake Collaborative Innovation Research Institute said that the "bridge" between universities and the product market is to open up the "cooperation chain" to achieve "two gatherings" and "two research and judgment". The former gathers the supply and demand of institutions and enterprises Resources, the latter is market research and judgment and empowerment research and judgment, through offline and online linkage, to promote the integration of supply and demand resource "database".
He lives in Hubei, studies in Harbin, and finally chooses Chongqing
Zhou Guoxiang, deputy director of the Advanced Ceramics and Intelligent Manufacturing Research Center of the Chongqing Research Institute of Harbin Institute of Technology, is 32 years old and comes from Hubei.
Prior to this, he had studied at Harbin Institute of Technology for five years and obtained a Ph.D.
Graduation is approaching, and the Chongqing Research Institute of Harbin Institute of Technology has also officially landed.
At that time, he had two destinations in front of him, one was to stay in Harbin, and the other was to go to Chongqing.
"At that time, I hoped that there would be enough scientific research sites to carry out research work. Both the research institute and Chongqing City have launched policies to support us scientific researchers, such as talent subsidies, scientific research project applications, etc. Here, I can develop a new research direction.” Zhou Guoxiang said that after careful consideration, he chose to go to Chongqing for development.

In 2022, Zhou Guoxiang became the first postdoctoral fellow of the Chongqing Research Institute of Harbin Institute of Technology, and won three scientific research projects in just one year.
"As a young scientific researcher who has just graduated, I can get these projects at once, and I am also the project leader. I think Chongqing's local support for our young scholars' scientific research work is really strong." Zhou Guoxiang said.
The Chongqing Research Institute is the first comprehensive local research institute of Harbin Institute of Technology to land across provinces.
Zhou Guoxiang told Chinanews.com that the Chongqing Research Institute now has 15 research centers conducting research on high-tech projects in the five major fields of automobiles and new energy, intelligent equipment, new materials, information technology, and emergency environmental protection. At the same time, some graduate students and doctoral students will also be arranged. Waiting for an internship here to help students further understand their majors in the project.
"After coming to Chongqing, the teachers and classmates around me also brought over the rigorous academic and scientific research atmosphere of Harbin Institute of Technology and the tradition of 'strict specifications, hard work at home'. It feels very familiar to do scientific research here, and the experience is very good."

Wang Baoquan added that the establishment of the research institute can not only realize the combination of production and education, but also help solve the problem of local talents.
"Students with scientific research ambitions come to us for internships. We directly let them integrate into the project. While deepening their understanding of their professional knowledge, we also get to know Chongqing better and let them see the local determination to support scientific research. and strength." (End)
