To further implement the requirements of collaborative university-enterprise talent cultivation and expand channels for aligning practical teaching with industrial demands, Zhang Yeli, Vice President, and Shi Jinghui, Director of Teaching and Research, from Runfangke (Shanghai) Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Runfangke), led a delegation to visit the School of Materials and Chemistry, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology on May 14, 2026. An exchange forum was held in Meeting Room 115, Siwei Hall (Auditorium). Dong Xiaoliang, Deputy Party Secretary of the School, presided over the meeting, with Vice Dean Li Shengjuan and relevant faculty representatives in attendance.
Deputy Party Secretary Dong Xiaoliang extended a warm welcome to the corporate guests. He noted that Runfangke boasts prominent strengths in skin health management and vocational education system development, while the school has a solid foundational base in functional materials, biomedical materials, analytical testing and other fields. The two sides enjoy high compatibility in industry-education integration, integration of posts, courses, competitions and certificates, and joint construction of practical platforms.
Vice Dean Li Shengjuan presented an overview of the school’s development, disciplinary characteristics and achievements in talent training. She stated that the school will follow the cooperation directions clarified at the forum to incorporate corporate standards, real industrial cases and job competency requirements into the curriculum system, and strengthen the linkage between practical teaching and graduate employment. Meanwhile, she proposed strengthening vocational guidance and corporate cultural integration support for students at the initial stage of their on-site internships, so as to improve their job adaptability and career development quality. She hoped that both parties could take the construction of internship and training bases as the starting point, and gradually expand cooperation to co-curriculum development, joint faculty training and competency cultivation, forming a closed-loop system of teaching – practice – certification. Professor Zeng Xiangqiong specifically mentioned the general education course Exploring the Mysteries of the Skin, which can be further jointly upgraded by combining Runfangke’s technologies such as AI-powered skin detection.
Dr. Song Wenliang, a young faculty member, delivered a special presentation on the foundation of previous bilateral cooperation and research progress in skin care. He reviewed prior communication and docking work, and highlighted his research team’s advances in porous fiber membrane forming and the fabrication of functional materials for medical aesthetics. He proposed deeper future cooperation targeting the enterprise’s actual needs, including verification of key technologies, joint postgraduate research projects and commercialization of research outcomes. Lin Zhiwei, postgraduate counselor, supplemented an introduction to the school’s scientific competitions and employment-oriented education initiatives.
During the discussion, Vice President Zhang Yeli recounted Runfangke’s achievements over the past year in skin management and healthcare, vocational education, and assessment of industry-education integration outcomes. She systematically explained the enterprise’s talent cultivation philosophy and practical results of the 1+1+N+2 model integrating posts, courses, competitions and certificates, and elaborated on corporate training procedures, job competency models and career progression pathways tailored for undergraduate students. From the perspective of teaching and research system development, Shi Jinghui shared the company’s practical experience in aligning vocational standards, developing curriculum resources, supporting skills competitions and providing faculty training, and put forward cooperation proposals for co-developing curriculum modules, case libraries and practical training tasks.
The corporate side acknowledged the university’s profound cultural heritage and vibrant academic atmosphere. Both sides reached a consensus to advance industry-education integration and joint curriculum development, optimize the linkage mechanism between internships and employment, explore joint postgraduate training and collaborative scientific research, and integrate vocational skill certification training with AI-assisted classroom teaching. Following the forum, Zhang Yeli and her entourage toured the school’s research laboratories, analytical testing center and other teaching and research facilities.
This visit and forum further clarified actionable directions for collaboration in curriculum development, vocational competency training, joint postgraduate training and disciplinary competitions. The School of Materials and Chemistry will continue to leverage its disciplinary and platform strengths, work hand in hand with Runfangke to deliver tangible results from cooperative initiatives, and jointly build a new platform for synergistic university-enterprise talent cultivation.
