To encourage young faculty members to actively participate in policy advisory work and improve their skills in drafting policy consultation reports, the 37th Qinghe Salon was held at the School of Management on the Chang’an Campus at noon on April 8. This session focused on enhancing young faculty members’ policy advisory capabilities and featured Associate Professors Lu Tingyu and Zhang Tao as guest speakers to share their experiences. Li Chenglong, Assistant to the Dean, moderated the event, which was attended by more than 20 young faculty members from the school.

    Lu Tingyu shared her journey of drafting policy recommendations from scratch. She noted that high-quality policy recommendations are becoming an important avenue for teachers to gain a competitive edge and achieve diversified professional development. Writing policy reports helps teachers broaden their research horizons, moving from micro-level case analysis to macro-level policy thinking, thereby effectively enhancing their policy acumen and ability to identify research topics.

    Drawing on his five years of experience in drafting policy recommendations, Zhang Tao provided a systematic explanation of the guidelines and strategies for report writing. He presented a step-by-step explanation covering various aspects, including defining the purpose and audience, data collection and verification, crafting titles and introductory paragraphs, and the structure of the main body along with key considerations. Through an in-depth analysis of two case studies, he demonstrated a comprehensive writing process—from identifying issues to formulating policy recommendations—and offered practical guidance to the participating faculty members.

    During the interactive session, participating faculty engaged in in-depth discussions on topics such as topic selection strategies and data sources for policy advisory reports, submission deadlines and channels, writing styles, and feedback mechanisms. Participants noted that the event provided systematic writing guidance and practical insights, which are of great significance for enhancing their ability to offer policy recommendations. Moving forward, the Qinghe Salon will continue to organize thematic events focused on improving policy advisory capabilities, helping young faculty members translate their academic research into concrete policies and strategies that serve national strategic needs.
