Secretary Cao highly affirmed our contribution to the Industry-University-Research Collaboration.

He expressed his expectation to create a win-win situation by co-establishing teaching and scientific innovation bases and so forth.
Liu Deshun said that in recent years, HNUST has consolidated its traditional advantages, cultivated emerging characteristic specialties, and continually improved the capability for scientific research and innovation and the quality of talents cultivation, which all made great contributions to the major national strategies and Hunan’s strategy of innovation-led opening up and development. HNUST has achieved the long-term friendly cooperation with CHCEG and shared the same mission with HNUCC. He firmly believes that all three parties should further make full use of their advantages, promote the organic connection among various fields, achieve fruitful results in improving the quality and efficiency of enterprises and cultivating innovative talents, and make more contributions to the construction of a New Hunan.

HNUST will join hands with CHCEG to unswervingly promote the deep integrated development of the Industry-University-Research Collaboration, which is a complicated task that requires joint efforts. HNUST will constantly provide sophisticated talents for endowing the enterprise’s technological innovation with more possibilities. In the meanwhile, CHCEG will become the industry leader with the aid of universities.
