  Talking about how to cultivate students' creativity, Takamatsu said that most of the problems encountered in reality are complex and uncertain, and it is often difficult to solve them in a single subject or major.

Facing the uncertainty of the future, it is necessary to cultivate students' general abilities, especially their learning, thinking and action abilities, so as to form creativity.

  Takamatsu pointed out that the most important way is to allow students to participate in more high-level research.

High-level research universities are the main force in basic research and basic research talent training. Education, science and technology, and talents are the basic and strategic support for comprehensively building a modern country, and universities are the most concentrated intersection of these three.

  Since being elected as a deputy to the National People's Congress, Gao Song has continued to pay attention to how to play the intersection and main force role of universities.

Last year, he suggested increasing the proportion of stability support for basic research at research universities.

This year, he suggested further optimizing the management and use of competitive research funds, better motivating scientific researchers and their units, and promoting the output of more cutting-edge science and future technologies.
