Nine schools including Peking University, Shanghai University, and University of Science and Technology of China were shortlisted for the new education plan? Tsinghua Xidian is ignored?
As the double first-class project enters the second cycle, colleges and universities generally choose to promote the cooperation of famous universities through the integrated development of "industry, university and research". A series of new academic organizations, such as the China University Science and Technology Innovation Alliance, have been established, and at the same time, "new alliances" led by prestigious universities have also emerged.
Recently, under the guidance of the Ministry of Education, a new talent collaborative training program was launched at Peking University. The program, called the Talent Training Program of the General Artificial Intelligence Collaborative Research Cooperative, is supported by the Ministry of Education. The program is jointly carried out by the Beijing Institute of General Artificial Intelligence and nine key universities including Peking University and Zhejiang University, aiming to strengthen cooperation and resource sharing between universities, and is committed to cultivating doctoral students in the field of general artificial intelligence to meet the country's demand for top talents.
Nine universities have joined hands to jointly develop the field of artificial intelligence. The Ministry of Education-backed initiative is led by Peking University, with other members including Zhejiang University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, University of Science and Technology of China, Wuhan University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Beijing Institute of Technology, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, and Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. Among them, it includes 4 C9 universities, as well as members of Wuhan University and Huazhong University of Science and Technology, including strong engineering schools such as Beijing Institute of Technology, and members of "Two Telecommunications and One Post" such as Chengdian and Beijing University of Posts.
This list basically covers the strong universities in the field of artificial intelligence in China, and has a high academic organization gold content. The program focuses on doctoral training, and schools such as Shanghai Jiao Tong University and University of Science and Technology of China have begun to recruit students.
It is understood that since the fall of 2023, the first batch of "Tong Plan" students have begun to enroll. In 2024, 130 doctoral students will be enrolled in the special doctoral program of the "General Plan". At present, Beijing Institute of General Studies has completed the first round of enrollment of the 2024 "General Plan" with Shanghai Jiao Tong University, University of Science and Technology of China and other institutions, including the enrollment batch of undergraduate students directly pursuing doctoral students.
Beijing Institute of General Studies and Peking University have jointly opened more than 20 general human courses and realized resource sharing. Through the dual employment of tutors, subject research, platform construction and other methods, joint training has been carried out. This program is designed for doctoral students and is a joint admissions program.
It is worth noting that Tsinghua University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Xidian University and other well-known domestic artificial intelligence universities were not selected, which is regrettable. As the first strong engineering university in China, Tsinghua University's artificial intelligence discipline has always ranked first in the country in major rankings.
First, the world's forefront. Harbin Institute of Technology has strong strength in the field of engineering and has always had a long-term layout in the field of artificial intelligence. As a member of "Two Electricity and One Post", Xidian's strength cannot be underestimated, and its reputation in the industry is also very good. The failure of these three schools to make the list is indeed somewhat surprising.
A reasonable explanation is that due to the limited number of places in the first batch, it is necessary to consider the geographical balance and industrial layout, so in North China, representatives of Peking University, Beijing University of Posts and Communications, Beijing Institute of Technology and other universities were selected, East China selected Zhejiang University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, China University of Science and Technology and other representatives, Central China determined Wuhan University and Huake, and Southwest China was represented by Chengdian. Due to the relative weakness of the industry in the Northeast and Northwest regions, no universities have yet been included in the list.
