NMS’s donation to Fuzhou University is one example of its long-standing commitment to supporting higher education in geology and mining. Over the years, NMS has established scholarships and teaching awards at universities including Central South University, Jilin University, Jiangxi University of Science and Technology, China Three Gorges University, and University of Science and Technology Beijing. It has also jointly established practical training bases with universities, gradually building a comprehensive framework that encompasses student awards, faculty incentives, and collaborative education through industry-university-research partnerships.

The event further strengthened university-industry collaboration and highlighted NMS’s commitment to supporting education and giving back to the industry. Using teaching awards and scholarships as a bridge, the two sides will continue to expand their cooperation and promote deeper integration of industry, education, research, and practical application, helping cultivate more highly qualified professionals to support the high-quality development of the geological and mining sector.
