Universities can power new quality growth

As key platforms at the intersection of education, science and technology, and talent cultivation, universities shoulder three major responsibilities. They are sources of innovation, nurseries of high-level talent and facilitators of innovation along industrial chains. Their development is therefore directly linked to the country's growth.
