Sun Jian, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Shaanxi Geological and Mineral Second Materials, presided over the meeting.

Secretary Sun Jian warmly welcomes the arrival of our faculty and students, and provides a detailed introduction to the positioning, innovative achievements, and development blueprint of Shaanxi Geological and Mineral Second Material Enterprises. He stated that the Department of Geology at Northwest University has a profound disciplinary background, strong research capabilities, and abundant talent resources. This cooperation is an important measure for the company to deepen the integration of industry, academia, and research, and empower high-quality development. He looks forward to both sides achieving complementary advantages and mutual benefit.

Director Long Xiaoping introduced the educational philosophy, scientific research advantages, and planning direction of the Department of Geology at Northwest University, and reviewed the profound friendship between the two sides for long-term cooperation. He stated that the Department of Geology has always adhered to the original intention of educating people and has achieved a series of results in geological theory research and core technology breakthroughs. This cooperation will further connect the "industry university research application" chain, injecting new momentum into geological science innovation and industrial upgrading.

Both parties had a discussion and exchange

Both parties jointly signed the "Strategic Cooperation Agreement for Building a Scientific Research Platform" and unveiled the plaque for the "Teaching and Research Practice Base"..

Both parties signed a strategic cooperation agreement and unveiled the plaque of the "Teaching and Research Practice Base". After the meeting, 17 students from the 2024 base class of the Department of Geology at Northwest University, guided by technical personnel, visited the exhibition room, instrument operation site, gravity big data platform, and Niu Zheng Innovation Studio to have close contact with cutting-edge geological exploration technology, deeply integrating classroom theory with industry practice. The students expressed that this visit not only taught them practical knowledge and skills beyond textbooks, but also provided them with a deeper understanding and knowledge of the geological industry, which provided valuable practical experience for their future learning and research, and also stimulated their love and exploration desire for the geological profession.

Students visit the data big platform and operate the instruments and equipment in practice. Looking forward to the future, the cooperation between the two sides will be linked by the "Geological Big Data and Deep Resource Exploration Research Platform". It is expected to achieve a series of innovative scientific research results in the field of scientific research, cultivate talents and inject power into the development of China's geological field, and make greater contributions to ensuring national energy and resource security and serving local high-quality development.
