Facing the challenges of economic globalization and the knowledge economy, how to formulate university development plans, how to conduct discipline construction and human resource management, how to promote and organize university research, and how to establish mechanisms for scientific research are not only focal points of concern for universities worldwide but also urgent issues that China needs to address to transition from a higher education power to a higher education giant in line with global trends in higher education reform and development. From August 4 to 10, 2004, the second China-foreign University Presidents' Forum was successfully held. Over 130 university presidents from China and abroad gathered in Beijing to discuss themes such as the future development strategies of modern universities, university research and development, and the transformation of scientific research. This book compiles the main discussion content of the forum, including speeches and forum dialogues, along with relevant reports from news media. It enables university administrative personnel, experts, scholars, and all those concerned with education to gain a comprehensive understanding of the forum's grandeur and share its valuable intellectual outcomes.
