Recently, Gan Weiwei, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of our college, Yu Wei, research lead, and Wu Yihua, faculty member, attended the Fourth Plastics Compounding Technology Forum in Suzhou to connect with enterprises across the industrial chain, expand student employment channels, and advance industry-academia-research cooperation.

The forum brought together enterprises in fields such as polymer materials and compounding equipment. The faculty team exchanged with heads and HR representatives of multiple companies, introduced the college’s talent cultivation features and graduate strengths, surveyed enterprise needs for R&D, quality inspection, and other positions, and collected information on internship and employment opportunities. They also discussed cooperation on jointly building internship bases, campus recruitment, and expert lectures. At the same time, the team participated in discussions on cutting-edge technologies, exchanged views with corporate R&D teams on industry pain points such as plastic modification and intelligent compounding processes, promoted the college’s research achievements and experimental platforms, and reached preliminary cooperation intentions on industry-commissioned technical research and technology transfer.

The activity aimed to broaden students’ employment pathways and deepen industry-education integration and research cooperation.
