Abstract

As a pivotal frontier in China’s “Opening-Up to the North” strategy, the supportive and leading role of higher education in Heilongjiang Province is crucial. From a geo-strategic perspective, systematically analyzing the realistic foundation, core opportunities, and challenges faced by Heilongjiang’s higher education in serving this strategy is a call of the times. Addressing current prominent issues—such as the misalignment between the structure of academic disciplines and strategic needs, insufficient depth in the integration of industry, academia, research, and application, and an underdeveloped ecosystem for international education—requires innovative approaches. These include optimizing the disciplinary cluster system, innovating talent cultivation models, building high-level new think tanks, and creating a resilient international ecosystem. Such measures aim to enhance the support capacity and contribution of higher education to the “Opening-Up to the North” strategy.
