To thoroughly implement the guiding principles of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, provide a platform for academic exchange among graduate students, showcase their academic innovation, cultivate research abilities, and foster a positive academic atmosphere, the School of Economics and Management at China University of Mining and Technology hosted the 18th Graduate Academic Forum Week from April 24 to 28, 2024.
With the theme “Management Innovation in Digital Transformation”, the forum featured six sub-forums and a main presentation session held offline. A total of 126 papers were submitted by the deadline.

Award-winning papers were comprehensively reviewed, with detailed advice offered on topics such as research questions and methodology.
The doctoral student sub-forum was integrated into the First Strategic Seminar on the Development of Emerging Productive Forces in the Energy Sector, scheduled for May 18, where students will receive additional feedback on their presentations.
