Guo Zixuan graduated from the School of Electric Power of our university and was selected by his organization to work on the front lines of an international organization. He has long been deeply engaged in research on Lancang-Mekong regional energy and new-type energy storage, and has achieved substantial results in regional green energy transition, the energy storage industry chain, and standards development. Drawing on his personal experience working in international organizations, he focused his sharing on topics such as the operating mechanisms of international organizations, communication and collaboration in cross-cultural work environments, and the project operation models of international organizations. He spoke highly of our university's interdisciplinary collaborative education philosophy integrating humanities and engineering in the International Organizations and Global Governance major, and suggested further strengthening the cultivation of students' practical and hands-on abilities, comprehensively enhancing students' cross-cultural negotiation and agenda-setting capabilities.
Zhu Xianlong introduced the educational positioning and training characteristics of the School's undergraduate major in International Organizations and Global Governance. Upholding the talent cultivation philosophy of value guidance, science and engineering empowerment, and think-tank driven, and relying on the locational advantages of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area as a global innovation highland and international exchange hub, the major has established four core course modules: Global Governance and Area Studies, International Law and Diplomatic Practice, Science and Technology Ethics and Technology Governance, and Global Economy and Cultural Communication. It is committed to cultivating top-notch innovative talents in global governance with solid cross-cultural negotiation capabilities and profound technical literacy.
Participants, proceeding from the height of national strategic needs, conducted in-depth discussions on topics such as the talent cultivation model for international organizations and global governance, the construction of internship bases for international organizations, and the integration of educational resources for international organizations. On behalf of the School, Zhu Xianlong presented a letter of appointment to alumnus Guo Zixuan, appointing him as a practical mentor for the School's undergraduate major in International Organizations and Global Governance.
In the future, the School will base itself on the strategic needs of the nation's opening-up, deepen its work in cultivating high-end foreign-related talents, advance interdisciplinary collaborative education integrating humanities and engineering, build growth channels for students to step onto the international stage, help promote the implementation of global governance initiatives, and cultivate new generations of young people courageous enough to shoulder the great task of national rejuvenation.
