Two. Brief introduction of Nanjing Agricultural University
The predecessor of Nanjing Agricultural University can be traced back to Sanjiang Normal School 1902 Agricultural Natural History Department and private Jinling University 19 14 Agricultural Science. 1952 adjustment of colleges and departments in national universities. Nanjing Agricultural College took the former Agricultural College of National Central University as the main body and merged with some departments of Agricultural College of Zhejiang University to form Nanjing Agricultural College. 1963 was identified as one of the two key agricultural universities in China. 1972 The school moved to Yangzhou and merged with Subei Agricultural College to form Jiangsu Agricultural College. 1979 moved back to Nanjing to restore Nanjing Agricultural College. 1984 was renamed Nanjing Agricultural University. In 2000, it was independently established by the Ministry of Agriculture and placed under the Ministry of Education.
There are 6,500 colleges in the school, including Agricultural College, Engineering College, Plant Protection College, Resources and Environmental Science College, Horticulture College, Animal Science College (including Wuxi Fisheries College), Animal Medical College, Food Science College, Economic Management College, Public Administration College, Humanities and Social Development College, Life Science College, Science College, Information Technology College, Foreign Languages College, Finance College, Grass Industry College, Marxism College, etc. There are 63 undergraduate majors, 30 master's degree-granting disciplines, 15 professional degree-granting rights, 17 doctoral degree-granting disciplines and 15 postdoctoral mobile stations. There are more than 7000 full-time undergraduates/kloc-0, and graduate students 1 1000. There are more than 2,700 teaching and administrative staff, including 2 academicians of China Academy of Engineering, 28 winners of National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, 3 national famous teachers, 5 national outstanding teachers, model teachers and advanced workers in the education system, and more than 140 people have been selected for talent projects and talent plans in other countries. There are 6 national and provincial teaching teams and 3 innovation teams of the Ministry of Education.
The school's talent training covers undergraduate education, postgraduate education, foreign students' education, continuing education and cadre training, and has established a national college students' cultural quality education base, a national basic science research and teaching talent training base, a national life science and technology talent training base and a national experimental teaching center for virtual simulation of plant production, animal science and agricultural biology. It is one of the first universities in China to pass the excellent evaluation of undergraduate teaching. In 2000, the graduate school was established with the approval of the Ministry of Education, and it was selected into the first batch of national excellent agricultural and forestry talents training plan in 20 14.
The school has four first-class disciplines, such as crop science, agricultural resources and environment, plant protection and veterinary medicine. Among the two disciplines, there are three national key disciplines, such as vegetable science, agricultural economic management and land resource management, and food science is a national key cultivation discipline. In the fourth round of national-level discipline evaluation results, four disciplines including crop science, agricultural resources and environment, plant protection, and agricultural and forestry economic management received A+, and three disciplines including public management, food science and engineering, and horticulture received A+. Eight disciplines entered the dominant discipline construction project of Jiangsu universities. Eight disciplines such as agricultural science, plant and animal science, environmental ecology, biology and biochemistry, engineering, microbiology, molecular biology and genetics, and chemistry rank among the top 65,438+0% of ESI disciplines in the world, among which two disciplines, namely agricultural science, plant and animal science, rank among the top in the world.
The school has 66 national and provincial scientific research platforms, including State Key Laboratory of Crop Genetics and Germplasm Innovation, National Meat Quality and Safety Control Engineering Technology Research Center, National Information Agriculture Engineering Technology Center, National Soybean Improvement Center, National Organic Fertilizer Engineering Technology Research Center, National Rural Land Resources Utilization and Renovation Local Joint Engineering Research Center, and National Green Pesticide Creation and Application Technology Local Joint Engineering Research Center. Since the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", the school's scientific research funding has exceeded 2.6 billion yuan, and it has won more than one national and provincial-level scientific and technological achievement award 100, including 8 national scientific and technological awards as the first completed unit. With its strong scientific research strength, the school actively serves the society and "agriculture, countryside and farmers", creating huge economic and social benefits, and has been rated as the national advanced unit for developing agriculture through science and education for many times.
The international communication of the school is increasingly active, and the degree of internationalization is constantly improving. It has maintained the relationship of joint student training, academic exchange and scientific research cooperation with more than 50 overseas high-level universities and research institutions in more than 30 countries and regions. With the University of California at Davis, the University of Reading in the UK, the University of Western Australia in Australia, Macy's University in New Zealand and other world-renowned universities, we have carried out dozens of joint training projects for students, such as "mutual visits", "undergraduate double degrees" and "undergraduate double degrees". The school has established several international cooperation platforms, such as Sino-US Joint Research Center for Food Safety and Quality, Nanjing Agricultural University-Cornell University International Technology Transfer Center, and International Reference Laboratory for Diagnosis of Swine Streptococcosis. In 2007, it became the "International Student College with Scholarship from China Government" of the Ministry of Education. In 2008, it became the first batch of "foreign aid bases for education" in China. In 20 12, it was approved to build the world's first Confucius Institute with agricultural characteristics. The school initiated the establishment of the "World Agriculture Award", and awarded awards to winners from Cornell University, Bonn University, University of California at Davis, university of alberta and Ghent University for five consecutive years. In 20 14, it signed an agreement with UC Davis to build a "same health center", which was approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology to build a "China-China Joint Laboratory of Crop Molecular Biology" and jointly approved by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Education to establish a "-ASEAN Education and Training Center".
The school campus covers a total area of 9 square kilometers, with a building area of 740,000 square meters and total assets of 3.5 billion yuan. The collection of books and materials is 2.35 million copies (departments), with more than 5 million kinds of foreign periodicals 10000 and Chinese e-books. The school has complete teaching, scientific research and living facilities and a beautiful campus environment.
In the course of running a school for more than a hundred years, the school has been adhering to the spirit of Nannong with honesty and diligence as its core, and has always adhered to the school-running philosophy of "educating people first, giving priority to moral education, promoting academics and serving the society", and has successively trained more than 200,000 outstanding talents, including 54 academicians.
Looking forward to the future, as the forerunner of modern higher agricultural education in China, Nanjing Agricultural University will take talents as the foundation, discipline construction as the main line, education quality as the life, scientific and technological innovation as the driving force, serving the society as its own responsibility and cultural inheritance as its own responsibility, and move towards the goal of a world-class agricultural university!
