Natural rubber and polymer materials form the foundation of the tire and chemical industries, and their long-term development depends on generations of young, specialized talent. Mainland Group firmly believes that technology is the core driver of high-quality enterprise growth, and thus prioritizes investment in scientific innovation, research and development, and practical application. The Group has partnered with prestigious universities such as Beijing University of Chemical Technology, China Agricultural University, South China University of Technology, and Xi’an Jiaotong University, offering attractive compensation and high-quality platforms to attract and nurture scientific talent, accelerating the industrialization of research outcomes.

In 2022, the Group established a long-term university-enterprise collaboration with Beijing University of Chemical Technology, focusing on green rubber and industry standards to promote integrated research, education, and production. It donated CNY10 million to establish the "Mainland Group – Liqun Scholarship," allocating CNY1 million annually to encourage students to pursue academic excellence and continuous improvement.

The "Mainland Group – Liqun Scholarship" has honored outstanding students across all academic levels in materials science for four consecutive years, representing the group’s tangible commitment to supporting education through its industrial success and deepening university-enterprise talent cultivation. While expanding its global presence in the rubber industry, Mainland has consistently fulfilled its social responsibilities. Since the scholarship’s inception, the university and enterprise have maintained ongoing collaborations including academic seminars and campus recruitment events, effectively bridging the gap between research and industry. Moving forward, the Group will further strengthen its research and industrial partnerships with the BUCT School of Materials Science and Engineering, steadily manage the scholarship program, and continue providing vital support for young talents in the field of materials science.
