Only a few world-class universities are in inland regions. The development of inland universities is restricted by many factors, which is especially true in the construction of universities of the Double First Class initiative in China's western inland regions.① To learn more about how this situation evolved, we conducted research focused on world-class inland universities in foreign countries to sort out their experiences during their development. Through literature reviews and online surveys, we found that the development of such universities is restricted by the economic and social environment of the cities and regions in which they are located. Further, these universities are good at seizing historic development opportunities to actively advance internal reform and fully integrate into regional economic and social development. As a result, they have made great contributions to talent training and scientific research. They have also enhanced their strength and international influence in the process of coordinated development with their region. Therefore, we suggest universities in western China draw on such experience to grow into double first-class universities. Specifically, they should closely follow major national and regional strategies and comprehensively integrate into regional economic and social construction to seek opportunities by taking full advantage of local development. They should also continuously deepen institutional and systematic restructuring to unleash their vitality and potential in education management and development and focus on major projects to expand influence in their regions.
