Under the dual background of the development of new quality productive forces and the construction of an education powerhouse, the traditional “knowledge infusion” model of higher education is increasingly inadequate for cultivating innovative talents. The construction of innovative educational environments in universities often suffers from a disconnect between advanced concepts and actual practice. Based on the nearly ten-year practice of the Life Science Research and Innovation Association of Heilongjiang Bayi Agricultural University, this paper proposes an innovative perspective of "research association empowerment", which is regarded as the core link connecting educational concepts with practical implementation. From three dimensions—iteration of educational concepts, innovation of teaching models, and optimization of educational mechanisms—it systematically constructs an innovative educational environment system, providing operable strategies for universities to break through the bottleneck in cultivating innovative talents.
