This means that Fuyao University of Science and Technology (tentative name) has a high degree of autonomy and flexibility, and can better adapt to market needs and changes of the times.
Previously, on August 9, 2023, Fuyao University of Science and Technology (tentative name) ushered in a historic moment. According to the official news of Fuzhou Fuyao Institute for Advanced Study, this new type of research university, which was founded by Cao Dewang with a donation of 10 billion yuan and Fuzhou City, officially held the first meeting of the first council. This meeting is not only an affirmation of Cao Dewang's educational dream, but also a solid foundation for the future development of the school.
At this council meeting, Cao Dewang was elected as the chairman of the board of directors after voting. As the founder and chairman of Fuyao Group, and at the same time, Academician Wang Enge is also honored as the vice chairman, and he will work together with Cao Dewang to contribute wisdom and suggestions for the development of Fuyao University of Science and Technology.

Academician Mei Hong of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was hired as the president of Fuyao University of Science and Technology (tentative name) of Fuzhou Fuyao Institute for Advanced Study.
Cao Dewang has always cherished a dream of education, he once said: "I want to find a famous teacher to be the principal, ask the famous teacher to teach my students, and turn it into a world-class famous school." In order to realize this dream, he not only donated a huge amount of money, but also personally participated in the preparation of the school. He is well aware of the importance of education and believes that education should be a career, not an industry. He hopes to contribute to the development of China's education through his own efforts.
It is understood that Fuyao University of Science and Technology (tentative name) will set up a number of colleges such as the School of Materials Science and Engineering, the School of Computer Science and Engineering, the School of Mechanical Engineering and Automation, the School of Vehicle and Traffic Engineering, the School of Health Sciences and the School of Economics and Management.

"I'm on the spot and can solve problems faster," he said. Now, the construction of the university has achieved very good results. ”
A few days ago, I passed by the construction of Fuyao University of Science and Technology, and it was already a complete campus. The overall greening of the campus is also in full swing. Green plants, bright flowers, and the whole campus already has bright colors. In this way, there should be no problem for Fuyao University of Science and Technology to open enrollment in 2024.
