In view of the fact that the research method of innovative talent education model is too single, this paper studies the education model of industry-university-research (IUR) cooperation in training application-oriented innovative talents from the two aspects of qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis. Firstly, this paper analyses the education status of IUR cooperation in training application-oriented innovative talents. Then, based on the previous studies, it conducts qualitative analysis on the education model of IUR cooperation to cultivate applied innovative talents. Finally, it proposes a quantitative analysis method for the application-oriented innovative talent education model based on IUR cooperation. The quantitative analysis method proposed in this paper is applied to the research of application-oriented innovative talent education model for the first time, which has made a useful attempt to introduce quantitative analysis in this field. The research results, from qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis, show the evaluation method of the education model for application-oriented innovative talent based on IUR cooperation, which provides a theoretical reference for the development of innovative talent education in various fields, and also has important practical significance for promoting the transformation of talent training ideas in higher education.
