HNUST entered the list of the National Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education Practice Base, another big step after joining the National University Innovation and Entrepreneurship Achievement Exhibition in 2021 and getting mentioned “‘Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation’ Triggered Innovative Education Change in a University” in China Education News in 2022.

The list consists of 100 national innovation and entrepreneurship colleges and 100 national innovation and entrepreneurship education practice bases. It is an important initiative to deepen innovation and entrepreneurship education reform and promote talent cultivation.

HNUST has longvalued innovation and entrepreneurship education and strived to integrate it into all aspects of university operation. It has promoted students’ overall development of specialized knowledge, learning capability, vocational skills and entrepreneurial competence, winning such honors as entering the first batch of the National Experienced Universities in Innovation and the list of Entrepreneurship and Provincial Demonstration Base of Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation.

Upon inclusion in the new list, the university will integrate innovation and entrepreneurship education into all facets of talent training. The purpose is to promote students’ innovation and entrepreneurship through phased construction work based on the National Innovation and Entrepreneurship Construction Goals.

In the next step, HNUST will examine achievements and development needs of the Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation campaign and focus on implementing a series of projects, such as Excellent Undergraduate Education and Innovative and Entrepreneurial Think Tanks. Priority and support will be given to the construction of innovation and entrepreneurship education practice bases at all times.

In the future, the university will attend to innovation and entrepreneurship’s cultural implication and value orientation and establish a complete cultivation mechanism through a series of training and practices. It will spare no efforts to promote entrepreneurial practice to integrate and even advance the quality development of the university.
