The 21st century will be the humanity depend upon knowledge innovation and the sustainable development century, the knowledge and technology are more and more important in each kind of element of production. In the knowledge economy time, the various countries'competition essence is the knowledge innovation and can rapidly transform the innovation achievement as the productive forces ability.Along with social development, the university walked society's central position, research universities are the core of knowledge innovation system, they are playing the important role in scientific innovation and the achievement transformation. The various countries research university all is devoting to the raise the high-level talented person; The scientific research is research university's important function, is the important base of developing the theory and exploring the high new technical.Nowadays ,USA is one of science and technology most developed countries in the world, also is one of higher education most developed countries, it has most research universities in the world, as the Outstanding person's research university in the American society is playing the pivotal role, they have become the core organization in the innovation system. Within a hundred years, Stanford University has become one of the first ranking universities of the world, it has accomplished world famous silicon valley, also relied on silicon valley to obtain the new leap.This article first analyses the technical innovation reason of American research university, and then take the Stanford University as the example,analyzes the condition of Stanford University to implement the technical innovation. Through the teaching, the scientific research and serves three aspects to study the Stanford University carries on the technical innovation. These three big functions is dependence each other, mutually promotes. Must pay attention to the scientific research and the practicality in the teaching, raises students'scientific research ability and the innovation, and at the same time, the scientific research can promote teaching and impetus service. In article final, through analyzes our country research university's related situation, point out our country research university existence certain insufficiencies, propose the corresponding suggestions for the development of research universities in our country. |
