The Role of Student Party Branches in Promoting Scientific Research Innovation: A Case Study of the Fifth Party Branch at the School of Automotive Engineering, Shandong Jiaotong University

Abstract

“The strength of a country is due to its people, and the success of talents comes from learning.” As an important educational platform, universities shoulder the fundamental task of cultivating morality and talents, and also have important responsibilities for talent cultivation and scientific research. Currently, cultivating the scientific research and innovation ability of college students is a national requirement of China and an inevitable requirement for the sustainable development of society in the future. University student Party branches are the main battlefield for theoretical innovation and practice of grassroots Party building. They seek new fulcrums in Party building work, combine Party building work with student academic technology, make Party building achievements “visible and tangible” in students’ learning and life, implement scientific research and education, and strive to “revitalize” the research and innovation capabilities of student Party branches in order to assist in talent cultivation in schools.
