In order to implement Tianjin's action plans for invigorating the city through science and education and strengthening the city through talent, to steadily advance the University's "3510" Strategic Project and the "Pioneer Program," and to meet the requirements of the "Excellent Teachers, Strong Education" Action Plan, the School of Electronic Information and Automation, in strict accordance with the Implementation Measures of Tianjin University of Science and Technology for the Special Program on Cultivating Outstanding Young Teachers and drawing on its own action plan Chasing Lightning with Youthful Edge, Igniting a New Journey: U35/U40 Tiered Talent Cultivation Action Plan, held a special review and exchange meeting in two phases. The first session, on July 16, was dedicated to student counselors and administrative staff; the second, held on July 20–21, was dedicated to full-time faculty members. Together, the two sessions achieved full coverage of all young faculty and staff members identified as cultivation targets across the School.

A special task force on young talent cultivation, headed by the School's Party Committee Secretary and Dean, was set up to coordinate the review and exchange.

The exchanges were pragmatic and constructive. Participants took careful notes of the panel's comments and proactively raised their development concerns with the reviewers. Many noted that the meeting, grounded in the School's formally issued tiered cultivation plan, helped them take an accurate measure of their own development: it enabled a comprehensive review of their past work and clarified the core priorities for the next stage. The School's all-round, differentiated and full-coverage cultivation measures, they said, have given young faculty and staff genuine peace of mind about their professional growth.

Talent is the core driver of the School's high-quality development, and young faculty and staff are the backbone of disciplinary innovation, talent cultivation, and management and service. This review and exchange meeting is a key step in implementing the School's U35/U40 tiered talent cultivation action plan and an important practice in refining the semi-annual dynamic assessment and rolling talent-pool management mechanisms. Covering three categories of positions — full-time faculty, student counselors and administrative staff — it has further consolidated a stepped talent cultivation ecosystem featuring "U35 seedling cultivation, U40 excellence development, and high-level leadership."

Going forward, the School's special task force on young talent cultivation will continue to implement supporting mechanisms such as dynamic appraisal, preferential allocation of resources and dedicated incentives, and will carry out follow-up guidance and review-and-exchange activities on a regular basis. Driven by the four-pronged model of platform empowerment, project traction, mentorship, and industry-education integration, the School will comprehensively support the rapid growth of U35 and U40 young faculty members, young counselors and young administrative staff, and continue to strengthen a versatile contingent of young backbones in teaching, research, engineering transformation, ideological and political education, and integrated management — thereby contributing sustained youthful strength to the University's effort to build a high-level research university and to Tianjin's effort to build a talent hub for the electronic information industry.
