On the morning of April 19, Wanshun Group and Changzhou University signed the "Industry-University-Research Agreement". In addition to providing "private customized" scientific research services for the technical problems faced by enterprises, Wanshun also set up a three-year Wanshun scholarship worth 1.5 million yuan to reward teachers and students of Changzhou University who have achieved achievements in the fields of petrochemicals and new materials. In the future, the two sides will fully interact in the fields of new energy and new materials to create an innovation platform that grows in universities.

Zhou Shanhong, chairman of the board of directors and representative of the National People’s Congress, said that as the development of the company has touched the “ceiling” of the industry, at the National Two Sessions this year, the leaders of the State Council asked to play the main role of the company in technological innovation when participating in the deliberations of the Jiangsu delegation. However, its own scientific and technological strength was weak, and finally chose the path of innovation with the help of the "external brain" of universities.

Vice President Ge Weibing, who is in charge of building the cooperation platform, introduced that the projects that have been cooperating include automotive composite high-tech materials and petroleum catalysts. At present, domestic related industries use imported similar products, which are expensive, and the ones developed now The quality of the products can reach the same type of products in European and American countries, but the price is much cheaper.

"Innovation points are becoming a new growth point for the development of enterprises. In the future, we will also adopt flexible measures to attract talents to allow university experts and professors to work as Sunday engineers in enterprises. At the same time, we will also invest in research projects with growth potential." Zhou Shanhong said, The enterprise has set up a project risk fund to tolerate innovation failures. All cooperative projects will share the results after success, and the failure will be borne by the venture fund.

For the sincere cooperation of enterprises, Shi Guodong, Secretary of the Party Committee of Changzhou University, said, “'R&D is in universities, and transformation is in enterprises.'
