Young Scholars in International Campus of Zhejiang University
With the supports from the International Campus of Zhejiang University (ZJU), young scholars from different institutes of ZJU international campus established a scientific organization entitled "Young Scholars in International Campus of Zhejiang University." This organization's aims included but were not limited to 1) Promote interdisciplinary and exploratory scientific research in international campus; 2) Enhance the ability of creativity in interdisciplinary research for the PIs and students from different institutes; 3) Foster the professional teams in interdisciplinary research and the ability in gaining supports and resources outside the campus; 4) Explore the new model of balancing research and teaching on international campus; 5) Create an exchange platform with "passion for work, cross-interests, and geek spirit"; 6) Build up an endogenous cross-disciplinary innovation model for the international campus. Moreover, this scientific community sincerely welcomes the senior PIs and the students with the passion for pursuing interdisciplinary research to join.
