Abstract

Science-education integration has become a vital strategy in higher education and a core principle for the high-quality development of world-class universities. The integration between local research institutes and provincial universities not only enhances the training quality of application-oriented talents but also serves the economic and social development of local regions. However, significant differences in functional positioning, funding channels, evaluation criteria, and cultural atmosphere among them pose practical challenges to their integration. To advance this integration, efforts could be put on establishing an integrated management and operation system, implementing a segmented talent cultivation model, introducing the "PI system" in research team organization, and developing a "full-chain" system for translating research outcomes. These gradual reforms will improve institutional mechanisms, unlock development potential, and foster a united force for development.
