Media Focus | Provincial and Municipal Media Report Professor Chu Daping Attends Jiangsu Development Conference

because of this, since 2014, Chu Daping has been running frequently between Cambridge and Nanjing. Under his communication and coordination, in November 2018, the University of Cambridge-Nanjing Science and Technology Innovation Center settled in Jiangbei New District. This is the first cooperative research institution established by the University of Cambridge outside the United Kingdom. It is also the only scientific and technological innovation center named by the University of Cambridge in China.

"on the one hand, there is a large emerging industrial chain around Cambridge University, and Jiangsu can learn from its mature experience to improve its scientific and technological innovation level; on the other hand, the advantages of both sides in basic research and application development are combined." In Chu Daping's view, the cooperation between the two sides is a case of two-way driving the demand for industrial upgrading and the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in an era when scientific and technological innovation leads global economic development.

Today, the Nanjing Science and Technology Innovation Center of Cambridge University has carried out basic research to industrialization in many aspects, such as biomedical health, information industry and new energy, smart city and environmental protection, as well as carbon neutral and sustainable development. at the same time, some preliminary industrialization and technology transfer have been realized.

"This is my third time to attend the Jiangsu Development Conference. With the platform provided by the conference, we also had some horizontal technical cooperation with other guests, so the development conference also created a lot of opportunities for us."

, guests from home and abroad who participated in the 3rd Jiangsu Development Conference arrived one after another. Professor for life at Cambridge University, academic director and CEO of Nanjing Science and Technology Innovation Center at Cambridge University, Chu Daping is full of expectations for the upcoming Jiangsu Development Conference.

, Daping was a native of Nanjing. He did not leave Nanjing until he graduated from Nanjing University with a master's degree in 1986.

, he worked in the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Department of Physics of the University of Warwick, and the Department of Engineering of the University of Cambridge.

"Currently, the Nanjing Science and Technology Innovation Center at the University of Cambridge is mainly targeting four areas: biomedical healthcare, information industry and new energy, smart cities and environmental protection, and carbon neutral and sustainable development. In these areas we are moving from basic research to industrialization, which is progressing smoothly, and we have begun to achieve some initial industrialization and technology transfer." Chu Daping told reporters.
