On the morning of July 20th, Principal Xue Qikun delivered a special lecture titled "Seeking Truth and Rigorous Scholarship; Promoting the Spirit of Scientists". Based on the overall development situation of the national strategy for high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-strengthening during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, combined with the current global technological competition situation and his own research experience, he deeply expounded the rich connotations of the new era's spirit of scientists and educators. He encouraged all the participants to have a "national perspective", transform their learning gains into a powerful driving force for serving national strategic needs and climbing scientific and technological peaks, and contribute the wisdom of South China University of Technology to achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-strengthening of the country.

In order to transform the research and learning outcomes into practical cooperation results and promote the coordinated development of schools, universities and regions, Xue Qikun led the training group to visit Guizhou University for exchanges and discussions.
