Abstract: The procession and analysis of the research materials related to the cultivation of innovative talents in Chinese universities show that China has achieved some preliminary theoretical and practical results in this field. Consequently, many research systems and methods have sprung up. Some attempts have been made in integrating disciplinary system and innovating training mechanism. Nevertheless, problems still exist. There lacks a complete research on the subjects. There isn’t enough investigation into the reasons for the innovative inability. Great attention should be paid to the empirical research based on mathematical models. Accordingly, relevant researches aimed at the abovementioned problems will give new perspective to the area.

Key words: domestic universities, cultivation of innovative talents, review
