This year’s undergraduate academic forum contained two sessions of the main forum and sub-forum.

In the main forum hosted by Professor Luo Chuliang, Director of DE, Professor Gao Minghua first delivered speech, congratulating the selected papers, and giving four suggestions for research from his 31 years of teaching and research experience. Professor Chen Jidong and Professor Hao Ying respectively commented on the report papers, which had a wide coverage and novel positions, praised and encouraged the researchers’ ability, and analyzed and summarized some of the problems in the papers for valuable suggestions, which benefited the students. Next, Professor Zhang Pingdan made a summary.

The academic forum, providing an excellent platform for academic exchanges for undergraduates, plays an important role in stimulating innovative research talents and promoting the academic level of undergraduates. In the future, we hope that students will actively participate in academic forums, keep moving on and continuously improve their academic research and innovation capabilities.
