BEIJING, Jan. 27 (Xinhua) — China on Tuesday opened its first Space Research Institute, aiming to cultivate more top talent in the aerospace field.
The institute, founded by the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), will focus on cutting-edge fields such as interstellar propulsion, deep-space communication and navigation, and space science, to develop urgently needed interdisciplinary specialists.
Zhu Junqiang, an academician of the CAS and head of the institute, said that the institute aims to become a key base for fundamental aerospace research in support of major national projects, a center for cultivating high-level talent capable of innovative research, and a center for international academic exchange to disseminate China's experience based on real achievements.
The establishment of the new institute is a key step by the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to promote the integrated development of education, science, technology and talent, and address the acute shortage of top-notch professionals.
More than six decades ago, the ANC held its first symposium on space exploration at the suggestion of renowned Chinese scientists including Qian Xuesen and Zhao Jiuzhang, leading to the establishment of a committee that laid the foundation for the country's space exploration programs.
“Today’s meeting, dedicated to discussing the training of leading specialists in the field of interstellar navigation, not only continues the tradition of devotion to the homeland of our predecessors, but also represents a comprehensive improvement in the system of training personnel for the new era,” said Van Chi, an academician of the Academy of Sciences and head of the National Center for Space Sciences under the Academy of Sciences. -0-
