Abstract
In the current context of the establishment of world-class universities and disciplines in China, this study examined the investment of research funds at universities. First, six variables were selected as evaluation indicators from the perspective of fixed assets, teaching configuration, research instruments, and the number of books in libraries. Seventy-two universities were investigated from 2013 to 2017. Second, an evaluation system was constructed using the BP (backpropagation) neural network method and its applicability was verified. Finally, by adjusting the six indicators, the investment of university research funds could be adjusted and predicted to provide a reference for the construction of “first-class” universities and disciplines.
Highlights
Since reform and opening up, China has been attached greater importance to education, at a time when the world is undergoing great development, change, and adjustment, with rapid scientific and technological progress, deepening economic globalization, and fierce competition for high-skilled workers
The development of higher education in China has attracted worldwide attention. e initial formation of a socialist system of higher education has been constructed, which is multiform, multilevel, and full of disciplines to meet the needs of economic construction and social development, where a large number of outstanding and top-notch high-skilled workers have been trained for socialist modernisation and play a great role in the country’s economic construction, scientific and technological progress, and social development
E study of investment in scientific research funds from each university in terms of infrastructure and equipment is more favourable to the understanding and grasp of the current “first-class” universities in all aspects. e increase in fixed assets of universities, the purchase of scientific research instruments and equipment, and the expansion of library books are more conducive to determining the scope of funding, facilitating the use of funds in practise, and efficiently promoting the construction and development of first-class universities and first-class disciplines in China with high efficiency
Summary
Since reform and opening up, China has been attached greater importance to education, at a time when the world is undergoing great development, change, and adjustment, with rapid scientific and technological progress, deepening economic globalization, and fierce competition for high-skilled workers. E initial formation of a socialist system of higher education has been constructed, which is multiform, multilevel, and full of disciplines to meet the needs of economic construction and social development, where a large number of outstanding and top-notch high-skilled workers have been trained for socialist modernisation and play a great role in the country’s economic construction, scientific and technological progress, and social development. Considering the current state of China and its critical period of reform as well as the international experience of advanced higher education, the Government has introduced a policy of “double first-class” university system. E study of investment in scientific research funds from each university in terms of infrastructure and equipment is more favourable to the understanding and grasp of the current “first-class” universities in all aspects. e increase in fixed assets of universities, the purchase of scientific research instruments and equipment, and the expansion of library books are more conducive to determining the scope of funding, facilitating the use of funds in practise, and efficiently promoting the construction and development of first-class universities and first-class disciplines in China with high efficiency
