Fourteen Nobel prize winners and more than over one hundred other
famous Chinese and foreign scientists attended a seminar held in
Tsinghua University
Monday.
Scientists at the International Symposium on Frontiers of Science
discussed the latest achievements in such fields as genetics and
Aids.
President of Tsinghua University Wang
Dazhong said Tsinghua should look up to the world's top
universities for their original research and achievements in the
frontiers of science.
Nobel prize winner Chen Ning Yang said it is important for a
Chinese college or university to exchange ideas with world-famous
scholars in order to upgrade their teaching and research
standards.
In
an effort to turn Tsinghua into one of the world's first-rate
universities, its Institute of Economics and Management in late
April invited 28 respected and highly paid overseas academics as
its guest professors.
