fang shouen said in his speech that computer science and technology is a key supporting field for the development of artificial intelligence. the establishment of the school of computer science and technology is a strategic choice for the school to respond to the needs of the times and the urgent needs of the country, to open a new chapter in the development of information disciplines, to promote the innovative development of disciplines empowered by artificial intelligence, and to enhance the comprehensive strength of disciplines. it is also a major reform measure for the school to thoroughly implement the spirit of the third plenary session of the 20th cpc central committee and the national education conference and coordinate the integrated development of education, science and technology talents. it is expected that the new college will further face the national strategy and scientific frontiers, strengthen the cultivation of high-end talents and key core technology research in the fields of artificial intelligence, network and distributed computing, computer software, etc., deepen the scientific and technological innovation and achievement transformation, explore deep-level interdisciplinary cross-discipline to promote the innovative development of disciplines empowered by artificial intelligence, and contribute to the construction of a chinese school of computer science and technology, especially artificial intelligence, and to accelerate the construction of an education power and promote chinese-style modernization.
jiang yugang, on behalf of the sister universities, said that today, computer-related technologies represented by artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing have become accelerators of scientific and technological progress, and are also the core engines for promoting high-quality economic and social development. facing the needs of the times and the urgent needs of the country, tongji university established the school of computer science and technology. this is not only an important improvement to its own discipline layout, but also a positive response to the national innovation-driven development strategy. located in shanghai, fudan and tongji have frequent exchanges and deep cooperation. it is hoped that the cooperation and exchanges between the two universities, especially in the field of computer science and technology, will be further strengthened in the future, and jointly contribute to the development of computer science and education in shanghai and the country.
wang yunhong, dean of the school of computer science at beihang university, said on behalf of the sister college that the establishment of the school of computer science and technology at tongji university complies with the urgent need for high-tech and innovative talents in national development. he believes that it will cultivate more high-level information talents for the country and play a pivotal role in promoting scientific and technological innovation, economic development and social progress. he expects beihang and tongji to further deepen exchanges and cooperation in the field of computer science and technology, share achievements, complement resources, and make greater contributions to building a strong country in education.
liu qinyuan, professor at the school of computer science and technology of tongji university, expressed on behalf of the young teachers of the school that they will strive to be good disseminators of knowledge, practitioners of innovation and inheritors of culture, cultivate and supply more top computer talents for the country, and achieve more original research results in the fields of artificial intelligence, big data, etc.
the tongji university computer science and technology discipline development strategy consultation meeting was held afterwards, chaired by academician jiang changjun. dean shen hengtao introduced the development history and representative achievements of tongji's computer science discipline from three aspects: "laying the foundation", "setting sail", and "dreaming of sailing", and proposed ideas and measures to promote the high-quality development of the discipline in the future.
the academicians and experts attending the meeting actively put forward suggestions on how to promote the innovative development of computer science and technology at tongji university. everyone said that computer science and technology is the core driving force of the digital era, and its importance is becoming increasingly prominent. tongji university's computer discipline has a profound accumulation and a good foundation. it is hoped that the new college will further strengthen its own unique advantages, continue to promote the construction of computer disciplines, continuously improve the overall strength of the discipline itself, strengthen the independent training of top innovative talents in the discipline, accelerate the research of key core technologies that "choke the neck", deepen industry-university-research cooperation, expand international cooperation and exchanges, and better play the supporting role of computer disciplines. with "computing +", the school's traditional disciplines will be transformed and upgraded, and multidisciplinary cross-integration will be developed, so as to contribute tongji's strength to achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance.
zheng qinghua thanked all the academicians and experts for their valuable opinions and suggestions on the development of the school's computer discipline, and thanked the predecessors of the school's computer discipline for laying a solid foundation for the development of the discipline. he said that computer discipline is an important part of information discipline. we must establish a high sense of mission, responsibility and honor in computer discipline, cultivate students' loyalty and love for this discipline, face up to the new challenges currently facing computer discipline, base ourselves on the long-term development of the discipline, maintain strategic determination, return to the original intention of the discipline, strengthen the essence of the discipline, achieve self-transcendence and lead development, unite multiple forces inside and outside the school, and strive to build computer discipline into a strategic supporting discipline, and contribute due strength to the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation.
