On June 12th, the Department of Geology conducted a study session for the Party Committee Theory Center Group, delving into General Secretary Xi Jinping's important article "Forward looking Layout and Development of Future Industries" and related articles from the "Qiushi" magazine "How Future Industries Shape the Future of Industrial Development".

Comrades Long Xiaoping and Wang Jianqiang made exchange speeches based on disciplinary construction and scientific research, discussing their understanding and ideas on issues such as the transformation of traditional geology, layout of cutting-edge fields, and innovation in talent cultivation.

During the seminar, participants expressed that the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is accelerating, and the future industry has become the core lever for cultivating new quality productivity, providing a new track for the transformation and upgrading of traditional geological disciplines.. As a fundamental discipline that serves national energy and resource security and ecological civilization construction, the Department of Geology must break away from the utilitarian thinking of "emphasizing indicators over practical results", abandon the one-sided orientation of only focusing on papers and projects, and regard moral education, strategic service, and long-term development as core achievements, leading the high-quality development of the discipline with a correct view of achievements.

Chen Feng emphasized in his concluding speech that based on the critical period of the beginning of the 15th Five Year Plan, the Department of Geology should make achievements in three aspects.. One is to adhere to the original intention of educating people, optimize the talent training system, integrate cutting-edge content such as green geology and new energy geology, and cultivate composite geological talents. The second is to focus on strategic needs, rely on the advantages of disciplines such as resource exploration and ecological restoration, deeply cultivate low-carbon geology, green mining and other fields, promote the deep integration of traditional geology and future industries, and smooth the channels for the transformation of scientific research achievements. The third is to cultivate a practical work style, improve the assessment and evaluation system, deepen the "four grassroots", solve the urgent difficulties and worries of teachers and students, and guide teachers and staff to devote themselves to learning and practical work.

This central group learning further unified ideas and consolidated consensus. Next, the Department of Geology will continue to deepen theoretical learning, transform learning achievements into practical results in discipline construction, scientific research innovation, and talent cultivation, actively integrate into the overall development of the country's future industries, and promote the department's various work to a new level through practical actions, contributing to the construction of national energy security and ecological civilization with the geological strength of Xi'an University.
