Institute Of Modern Physics Graduate Students And Jointly Cultivated Undergraduates Go To Japan For Exchange

In order to further strengthen the internationalization training of graduate students and jointly trained undergraduates, and to promote the cooperation and exchanges of educational work, the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IMPC) selected a total of 19 outstanding graduate students of IMPC and jointly trained undergraduates with Lanzhou University, the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), and Yunnan University, to participate in the one-week "Cherry Blossom Science and Technology Exchange Program" (Sakura Science and Technology Exchange Program) in Osaka University, Japan, on January 28, 2024. "Sakura Science and Technology Exchange Program" program.
"The Sakura Science and Technology Exchange Program aims to deepen mutual understanding, inspire innovation, and cultivate the next generation of scientific and technological talents by promoting exchanges and cooperation between young scientific and technological talents from China and Japan. The Research Center for Nuclear Physics (RCNP) of Osaka University has the largest cyclotron experimental facility in Japan and is one of the major atomic nuclear physics research centers in Japan. During the week-long exchange, RCNP organized a number of academic lectures, seminars and cultural exchange activities, which provided a platform for the exchange team members to present their research results and exchange academic ideas.
During the exchange period, the team members visited RCNP Accelerator National Laboratory and Institute of Laser Science, toured the historic Laser XII device, and gained an in-depth understanding of the operation and research results of these large scientific devices. The team members listened to the excellent lectures delivered by experts and scholars from Osaka University, which covered a wide range of topics from the simple to the profound. The lectures not only broadened the students' scientific horizons, but also provided them with valuable academic resources and inspiration for their future research work. Under the guidance of RCNP teachers, students also participated in nuclear physics research experiments.
In addition to scientific exchanges, team members experienced Japanese culture by visiting the Osaka University Museum, the Osaka Museum of History and the Osaka Castle Tenshukaku. By tasting authentic food such as okonomiyaki, sushi, ramen, etc., the team members further understood the living habits and cultural flavor of Japan.
This exchange is an important part of the international cooperation and talent cultivation strategy of the Institute of Modern Physics. The Institute of Modern Physics will continue to strengthen the cooperation with universities and research institutes around the world in talent cultivation, provide more opportunities for international exchanges for graduate students and undergraduates under joint cultivation, and strive to cultivate research talents with international competitiveness.
