加州大学跨学科研究机构及对我们的启示

Cross-Discipline Organized Research Units in California University and its Enlighten to Us

在美国加州政府的支持下 ,加州大学各分校专门设立了为交叉学科研究提供基础设施和条件的跨学科研究机构 ,其英文全称为 Organized Research Unit(以下简称 ORU)。加州大学为 ORU制定了相应的申请、管理和评估制度 ,并提供运行费用 ,以保证其发挥应有的作用。ORU与传统的院系在科研工作中的作用互补 ,在加州大学 9个分校的科研、教学和社会服务中发挥了重要的作用。加州大学 ORU的模式对我国研究型大学如何组织跨学科的研究具有一定的借鉴作用。

Under the support of the government,all sub campuses of California University have established Organized Research Unit(ORU) to support the cross discipline research. California University has formed a system of application,management and evaluation for ORU,and provides operation fee for it. The ORU offers a complementary function with traditional schools and departments,and performances very important roles in scientific research,teaching and social service in all 9 sub campuses. The research type universities in China can learn the experience from ORU of California University in establishing cross discipline research.
