Industry-Education Integration, University-Enterprise Collaboration— Exchange Forum Between PAVLN and Central South University

On June 21, 2024, Shi Zhengrong, Chairman of PAVLN Security Technology Ltd., and his entourage visited the Department of Fire Protection Engineering of Central South University to hold an in-depth exchange seminar. Centering on the core of "industry-education integration, university-enterprise collaboration", this exchange aimed to build a linkage bridge between fire protection industry practice and university scientific research and teaching, promoting the in-depth integration of technological innovation, talent training and industrialization of scientific research achievements in the field of fire protection engineering. Professor Xu Zhisheng, Professor Fan Chuangang, Associate Professor Shen Yongjiang and other leaders and representatives of teachers and students from the Department of Fire Protection Engineering of Central South University warmly received and accompanied the group throughout the event. The two parties conducted in-depth discussions on core topics, laying a solid foundation for in-depth school-enterprise cooperation.

Before the seminar, accompanied by Professor Xu Zhisheng and others, Chairman Shi Zhengrong successively visited the National Engineering Research Center for High-Speed Railway Construction Technology, the Institute of Disaster Prevention Science and Safety Technology, and the Undergraduate Laboratory of Fire Protection Engineering of Central South University, conducting on-site inspections of the university's fire protection scientific research platforms, R&D projects and teaching achievements. He carefully inspected the configuration and application of experimental equipment, detailedly understood the research directions and technological breakthroughs in fields such as fire prevention and control and emergency rescue, and highly praised Central South University for its scientific research accumulation, innovation capacity and effectiveness in achievements transformation. He believed that the two parties have complementary advantages and broad space for cooperation.

Subsequently, the two parties held a seminar presided over by Professor Xu Zhisheng. Professor Fan Chuangang comprehensively introduced the discipline construction, faculty strength, talent training model and the transformation of scientific research achievements of the fire protection engineering major. Combining PAVLN's development history and full industrial chain layout, Chairman Shi Zhengrong shared the company's practical experience in fields such as fire protection product R&D, engineering construction and facility maintenance, and conducted in-depth exchanges with the university on topics such as the optimization of discipline construction, the orientation of talent needs and the innovation of cooperation models. Finally, the two parties reached several consensuses on joint talent training, the construction of practice bases and the landing of scientific research achievements.

After the seminar, Chairman Shi Zhengrong was invited to give a special lecture on "Overview, Development Prospects and Employment Guidance of the Fire Protection Engineering Industry" to all teachers and students. Focusing on industry trends and combining practical cases, he analyzed the current situation and prospects of various fields in fire protection engineering, focused on sharing opportunities in emerging fields such as new energy fire protection and smart fire protection, and put forward targeted suggestions for students' career planning and ability training based on his own experience, clarifying the development path. The lecture won warm applause from teachers and students.

This exchange is an important measure for PAVLN to practice the concept of industry-university integration and fulfill its social responsibility. As a deep cultivator in the fire protection industry, PAVLN has always taken technological innovation and talent training as the core driving force, and deeply understands that enterprise development is inseparable from university support, and university talent cultivation needs to be in line with industry needs. In the future, taking this exchange as an opportunity, the company will further deepen cooperation with Central South University, give play to the advantages of both parties, carry out all-round cooperation in talent training, the construction of practice bases, scientific research collaboration and achievements transformation, work together to create a model of school-enterprise cooperation, cultivate high-quality talents for the fire protection industry, inject new momentum into development and contribute PAVLN's strength.
