Many domestic universities want to take the title of "Double First-class University". After all, it is related to the reputation and destiny of the school, but these honors and fame are still obtained by taking the examination of real talents and learning, not just by the publicity effect. Here is a list of the double first-class universities.
"double first-class" refers to the construction of world-class universities and disciplines. On October 24, 215, the State Council issued the Overall Plan for Promoting the Construction of World-class Universities and First-class Disciplines (hereinafter referred to as the "Double-class" Plan), which arranged 1 key tasks in terms of construction and reform, including "building a first-class faculty", and pointed out that universities should have a group of first-class experts, academic leaders and innovative teams active in the international academic frontier.
It can be seen that the construction of high-level talents is one of the important tasks for universities to build first-class universities and first-class disciplines.
Fan Xiudi, an associate researcher in the quality evaluation of Tongji University Development Planning Center, told 21st century business herald that scientific research achievements, high-level talents and the number of papers are all very important indicators in the evaluation of colleges and universities.
In the evaluation of high-level talents in colleges and universities, academicians of the two academies, Changjiang Scholars, overseas high-level talents (hereinafter referred to as "Thousand Talents Program") and winners of the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars (hereinafter referred to as "Jie Qing") play an important role in the evaluation of colleges and universities.
"If I want to score these four indicators in the evaluation work, under the condition that academicians of the two academies score 1 points, Changjiang Scholar, Thousand Talents Program and Jieqing can generally score 5 points each." Fan Xiudi explained the relative weight of these four indicators to reporters.
It has to be said that having a faculty with the average level of world-class universities is one of the important fulcrums for universities to squeeze into the "double-class" list.
However, due to the scarcity and mobility of high-level talents, it will inevitably become the object of competition among schools.
So, what is the performance of colleges and universities in this talent "arms race"?
Traditional prestigious schools are still highland of talents
21st century business herald reporter combed the number of "Academicians of the Two Academies", "Changjiang Scholars", "Thousand Talents Program" and "Jieqing" in universities around the world. From the statistical results, among the top 44 universities in China, except the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Peking Union Medical College and Shenzhen University, the other 41 universities were once "985". Moreover, the gap between "985" and "211" colleges and universities and ordinary colleges and universities is very large.
Zhang Duanhong, a lecturer at the Institute of Higher Education of Tongji University, analyzed that the advantages of high-level talents in "985" and "211" universities are structural advantages. The internal decisive factor is the layout of master's programs and doctoral programs. The first universities that can become the "985" and "211" projects will all have more doctoral programs, which determines the gap in basic strength among universities. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for ordinary colleges and universities to attract high-level talents only by undergraduate majors.
The overall strength of ordinary colleges and universities is not as good as that of national key universities, which is an important reason why it is difficult to win more doctoral programs. Some experts also believe that for a long time, local universities have too little autonomy in setting up doctoral programs, which is an important factor leading to the shortage of doctoral programs in local universities.
In April this year, the Ministry of Education and other five departments jointly issued "Several Opinions on Deepening the Reform of Service by Combining Decentralization with Administration in Higher Education", which mentioned that further decentralization should be given to local governments and universities, so that universities can have greater autonomy in running schools. We will steadily promote the independent examination of doctoral and master's degree authorization points in some colleges and universities.
"In addition, on the basis of doctoral degree gathering, whether universities have important platforms such as national key laboratories and national engineering centers related to their disciplines is also a factor for high-level talents to further consider." Zhang Duanhong said.
Take Shenzhen University as an example. In recent years, its teaching staff has been growing. According to official website of Shenzhen University, there are 9 academicians of the two academies (including 3 short-term employees), 5 academicians of American Academy of Sciences, Academy of Engineering and Academy of Medical Sciences, 1 academician of Canadian Academy of Engineering, 1 academician of European Academy of Sciences and 2 academicians of International Eurasian Academy of Sciences. And there are 3 chief academy of sciences of "973 Plan", 1 top thousand talents and innovation team of the Central Organization Department, 6 winners of "Thousand Talents Plan", 22 winners of "Changjiang Scholar Award Program" in distinguished professor (including 16 short-term employees) and 29 winners of "Jieqing".
The continuous growth of teaching staff has benefited from Shenzhen University's measures such as building a scientific research platform and vigorously introducing talents. At present, Shenzhen University has eight Industry-University-Research platforms in Shenzhen. It is worth noting that in June this year, two state-level scientific research laboratories-"National Engineering Laboratory for Computing Technology of Big Data System" and "Joint Laboratory for International Cooperation of the Ministry of Education of Optoelectronic Science and Technology of 2D Materials" settled in Shenzhen University at the same time.
A city with a strong economy is competitive
According to 21st century business herald, the top ten cities with the largest number of high-level talents are Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, Xi 'an, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Hefei and Tianjin. It is worth noting that, except for Xi 'an and Hefei, other cities are among the top ten cities in terms of urban GDP in 216, with a regional GDP exceeding one trillion.
The reason why high-level talents gather is not only the local economic strength, but also the talent policy of the city. Take Chengdu as an example. In July this year, Chengdu issued the "Strategic Action Plan for Giving Priority to Talents Development in Chengdu", which proposed to give up to 3 million yuan in financial support to "academicians of the two academies", experts from the national "Thousand Talents Program" and "Ten Thousand Talents Program" and local innovative entrepreneurs and scientific and technological talents who have made great contributions to Chengdu's innovation and entrepreneurship. At the same time, it also provides services such as housing, settlement, spouse employment, children's enrollment, medical care, social security, entry and exit and residence convenience, and entrepreneurial support.
In this regard, Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at China Academy of Educational Sciences, said that cities that can attract high-level talents generally have several characteristics: first, they have strong economic strength, good environment and many development opportunities; In addition, colleges and universities are rich in resources, strong academic atmosphere and many scientific research platforms, which are suitable for academic research, which is also an important factor to attract high-level talents.
Take Hefei as an example. Although the economic volume of Hefei is not at the top of other cities, the scientific research strength of Hefei, led by China University of Science and Technology, should not be underestimated. It is reported that after Hefei High-tech Industrial Development Zone was approved as a "double-innovation" demonstration base last year, Hefei Institute of Material Science of China Academy of Sciences and Hefei Rongshida Electronics Group are also on the list of the second batch of "double-innovation" demonstration bases in China announced by the General Office of the State Council this year. At present, Hefei has three national "double innovation" demonstration bases, which are in the forefront of provincial capital cities in China. At the same time, Hefei is also an important scientific research and education base and a national pilot city for scientific and technological innovation.
Matthew effect of high-level talents
21st century business herald reporters combed the data of high-level talents all over the country and found that high-level talents mostly gathered in the eastern coastal provinces, showing obvious contrast with the western regions. Taking the number of academicians of the two academies as an example, there are 128 academicians of the two academies in universities in the eastern region, while there are only 134 academicians in universities in the western region.
In addition, the reporter made statistics on the young Changjiang Scholars, the winners of the National Excellent Youth Program and the Young Thousand Talents Program and the winners of Jie Qing newly added in colleges and universities in 216-217, and found that Zhejiang University * * * had 8 people selected, surpassing Peking University and Tsinghua; Peking University has 79 people selected, ranking second; Tsinghua University was selected 67 times, ranking third. In recent years, Sun Yat-sen University, which has a strong momentum, ranks fourth with 56 people. Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Fudan University, Nanjing University, China University of Science and Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and Wuhan University were also selected by more than 3 people. After that, the number of people selected by 3 universities is basically less than 1, and the gap between the number of top young talents among universities is obvious.
On the whole, most of these top young talents are concentrated in key universities in the eastern coastal areas such as Zhejiang, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong, while few talents are selected in the central and western regions.
A number of experts said that the Matthew effect of talents in different regions is becoming more and more obvious due to the economic development gap between the east and the west, and on the other hand, it has something to do with colleges and universities striving for high-level talents in order to enter the "double-class" list.
under the call of national first-class universities and the construction of first-class disciplines, many universities in the east have tried their best to attract talents. In official website, Dongguan University of Technology, the reporter found that in the recruitment notice of high-level talents in the school, the winners of the National Science Fund for Outstanding Young Scholars, the Changjiang Scholars of the Ministry of Education, and the experts and scholars of the National Thousand Talents Program were given a generous salary of 1.3 million yuan and a housing subsidy of 2.5 million yuan. In addition, in terms of research start-up funds, the talents in science and engineering disciplines can reach up to 2 million yuan, and the humanities and social sciences can reach up to 2 million yuan. So far, the school has * * * introduced 6 academicians of the two academies (double-hired and specially-hired), 11 Changjiang Scholars and 7 experts of the "Thousand Talents Program" of the Central Organization Department.
Coincidentally, Hangzhou Dianzi University offered the academician an annual salary of 5 million yuan, tianjin polytechnic university gave the academician a housing subsidy of 5 million yuan, and North China University of Water Resources and Hydropower gave the imported chief scientist a research start-up fund of 3 million yuan.
In the survey, the reporter also found that the number of academicians in a key university in northwest China decreased by more than half from 216 to 217. Perhaps these talents are not all poached by high salaries. However, we have to admit that this practice of attracting high-level talents with high salaries, housing subsidies and research funds has indeed caused brain drain in some colleges and universities.
solving the "negative effect" of talent flow
in the face of the "war of grabbing people", the Central Organization Department and the Ministry of Education recently held a forum to express their opposition to the east grabbing talents from universities in the central and western regions and northeastern regions, so as to prevent the phenomenon that "the east is strong and the west is weak" from further worsening.
Zhang Duanhong, a lecturer at the Institute of Higher Education of Tongji University, told 21st century business herald that the brain drain in the central and western regions is actually in line with the basic flow law of human resources, because talents will definitely flow to these places with more developed environment and atmosphere for scientific research and better remuneration. This will also help these talents to play a better role in a better environment.
"However, at the same time, it has brought some negative effects, because some' hat talents' ('hat talents' mainly refer to scholars who have corresponding titles because they were selected into the talent programs of various ministries and commissions of the country) got this' hat' from the central and western regions, and some scholars can get this' hat' not only because of their personal efforts and struggles, but also because of the concerted efforts of the whole school in many cases. Zhang Duanhong said.
The reporter found that there are not a few experts who have a negative attitude towards the introduction of "hat talents" at high prices.
Fan Xiudi, an associate researcher in the quality evaluation of Tongji University Development Planning Center, believes that normal talent introduction and academic exchange are very necessary. However, at present, some colleges and universities do not give full consideration to "hat talents" whether they are needed or not, and they will not hesitate to pay a lot of money for them whenever possible. This kind of behavior is extremely unfavorable to the flow of talents, personal growth, school development and the whole academic atmosphere.
"First of all, the research he did in the original school may not be better developed in the new school, and even there will be' acclimatization'; In addition, it will have a great impact on the academic vitality and morale of schools that have been' poached'. Because often a' hat' is won by collective resources. The poaching of talents actually means that many resources of the original unit have also been taken away, which is unfair to the original colleges and universities. " Fan Xiudi told reporters in 21st century business herald.
So, how to break the bad habit of blindly "poaching people"? Experts also gave their "prescriptions".
"First of all, the relevant departments can issue documents to restrain the' hat' from following people. In other words, human capital can flow, but not because of the' hat'. It can be because the individual's research direction and expertise are more in line with the needs of the discipline development of another school, rather than just because of the names of' Changjiang Scholar' and' Jieqing'. " Zhang Duanhong said.
In this regard, Fan Xiudi believes that the weight of "hat talents" should be reduced in the evaluation of colleges and universities, because in fact, many times, "hats" can't reflect the real academic ability and scientific research level of schools. At the same time, we should pay more attention to the cultivation of students and the output of scientific research results, which will help us build a world-class university.
On July 27th this year, the Work Points of the Leading Group for Talent Work of the Ministry of Education in 217 also proposed to improve the talent flow mechanism, encourage rational flow and curb vicious competition. Improve all kinds of evaluation mechanisms, guide colleges and universities to establish a correct view of talents, and focus on laying a foundation and benefiting the long term. Give full play to the role of talent work alliance in colleges and universities, establish industry self-discipline mechanism and talent flow consultation and communication mechanism, and explore the establishment of a reasonable talent sharing mechanism. It is worth noting that it is also mentioned that it is necessary to strengthen the contractual relationship and legal awareness between universities and talents and implement the employment contract management. Guide high-level talents to honor promises and keep promises, and abide by the employment contract in an exemplary manner.
in addition, give play to the guiding role of the national major talent project, further increase the tilt to the central and western regions and the northeast region, and attract a group of high-level talents to start businesses in the central and western regions and the northeast region.

Universities in the eastern coastal areas and developed provinces are awesome enough, and the strength of 211,985 itself is very strong. Double-class universities should be shifted to the central and western regions. After all, the educational resources in the central and western regions are not as powerful as those in the eastern coastal provinces, and more support should be given to universities in the central and western regions. Don't pull the strength between them more and more. Let the eastern talents flow to the central and western regions, and promote the economic development and education in the central and western regions and underdeveloped areas.
I finally know what the banner of striving to be a first-class university put up by Sichuan University means. I hope I can be selected ~ The number of students in the first university in Southwest China, which is talked about by counselors, is indeed the first in Southwest China.
I hope there will be no mistakes in evaluation or it will be fatal to the future development of a university.
There are more than 34 academicians in Chinese Academy of Sciences, followed by 97 in Peking University. Maybe he didn't participate in the selection.
One of our teachers is well-known in the economics field, but not the first echelon of young and middle-aged people, so Shenzhen University has offered the Deputy Division+3 million team research funds+3, basic annual salary+1 million housing allowance. The only big project team in our school, the school subsidizes 3 million yuan every year, and a university in the east subsidizes 8 million yuan every year. The core members of the team include a Changjiang scholar and a Jie Qing, who are almost five or six people, and give 2 million yuan to settle down.
It would be really angry if Nanchang University got into the double-class and I didn't get into Jiangxi Finance and Economics.
The college entrance examination refused to be handed in by Fudan University of Zhejiang University, and I chose the National People's Congress without hesitation, but I didn't make it. It's really hehe.
