On this cold winter day in January 2024, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) and the Ministry of Education jointly announced the honor list of the new phase of the first-class cyber security college construction demonstration project. In this bright starry sky, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Xidian University, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shandong University, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, University of Science and Technology of China, Southeast University, Jinan University, Wuhan University, Beijing Institute of Technology, Hunan University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Tianjin University and Strategic Support Force Information Engineering University and other 16 universities, like 16 shining stars, illuminate the way forward in the field of network security. **The person in charge of the Cyber Security Coordination Bureau of the Cyberspace Administration of China solemnly announced that in order to further deepen the demonstration project of the construction of a first-class cyber security college, the scale of this selection has been expanded, and a dynamic adjustment mechanism of "entry and exit" has been implemented. At the end of each five-year construction cycle, the selection will be re-conducted to ensure the vitality and competitiveness of the demonstration projects. 
In the new phase of the demonstration project, the awareness and skills of cultivating students' scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance have been placed in an important position. We will establish a complete curriculum system, textbook system and training environment system to improve the quality of training network security innovation talents in an all-round way. At the same time, we also encourage teachers and students to actively participate in the construction of the open source ecosystem and promote the deep integration of cybersecurity education, technology and industry. In order to stimulate students' innovative spirit, we will carry out a deep student innovation funding program. In addition, we will break the traditional talent evaluation mechanism, and no longer regard academic publication as the only criterion for student graduation and faculty promotion. On the contrary, we will value the outstanding achievements of teachers and students in the process of participating in major projects, engineering construction, technology research and development of enterprises and scientific research units, and regard them as the equivalent value of high-level academic **. 
This series of reform measures aims to break the shackles of tradition, stimulate the innovation vitality of teachers and students, cultivate more outstanding cybersecurity talents, and make greater contributions to China's cybersecurity cause. February** Dynamic Incentive Program
