The definition of young talents in colleges and universities can be described as those within the age of 45 who are engaged in basic research, applied basic research, applied research and technological R&D, and possess outstanding innovative capabilities and potential. Their development is characterized by typical features such as domain specificity, academic innovation and social service. However, the current cultivation of young talents in colleges and universities is faced with problems such as the disconnection between the cultivation plan and their characteristics, the ineffective guarantee of their rights and interests by the service system, and the academic ecology restricting their growth. The Social Sciences Federation of colleges and universities has gathered a large number of talents, teams and disciplines. Relying on its work advantages of “connection” and “integration”, it can base itself on the development characteristics of young talents and promote the cultivation of young talents through such paths as cultivating morality to forge the soul, cultivating talents jointly to gather strength, cultivating talents through practice to strengthen the foundation, and cultivating an atmosphere to nourish the heart.
