I Am the President of the University

Chapter 495 Stubbornness and Innovation (Restoring to Normal Update)

December 27.

Beijing.

in a conference room of a unit.

A U-shaped conference table has 9 people sitting on both sides, and two men and one woman are sitting in the middle.

The sound came from the right side of the center position.

"The office (temporary) meeting of the chairman of the Chinese Materials Research Society starts now."

"This ad hoc meeting is mainly about the preparations for the [China Materials Conference 2021], including the revision of the conference registration fee, whether to reduce the registration fee for students and..."

The voice stopped abruptly here, but after only two seconds of pause, the person who spoke continued:

"And whether to admit Dr. Chen Hao from Guanghua University into our institute."

Almost when these words sounded, the expressions on the faces of the scholars sitting on both sides were a little subtle.

Several people looked at each other, did not speak, just looked at each other, and everything was silent.

Attending this temporary office meeting this time are the executive directors and above of the Chinese Materials Research Society.

There are as many as 6 academicians alone, and the remaining 15 are either professors of science and engineering universities or chief engineers of state-owned enterprises.

I won't say much about the leading ones. Just in the university sequence are Academician Qiu Yong, President of Tsinghua University, and Academician Nie Zuoren, President of Beijing University of Technology.

To put it bluntly, this conference was attended by a group of top materials scientists in China.

The youngest are in their 40s, with an average age of around 60.

The Chinese Materials Research Society, or C-MRS for short, is managed by the Association for Science and Technology and is an important social group in my country.

The Chinese Materials Society holds a "China Materials Conference" every year, which is also the highest-level conference in the field of materials in my country.

Well, if you don't count the 2020Nature China Forum held on Ludao a few days ago.

Speaking of which, the academicians and professors present had a cloud over their hearts.

Coincidentally, "China Materials Conference 2021" is also held in Ludao. At this time, compared with the China Forum hosted by Guanghua University, one is the highest conference in the field of materials in China, and the other is known as the world's major event in materials science.

Isn't this... a slap in the face? !

Not to mention the China Forum a few days in advance, 16 of the 21 people present attended the forum, which is completely the scale of seeing each other with their own eyes.

"Next year's material conference coincides with the centenary of the founding of the party.

Moreover, as a key period for the new journey of the "14th Five-Year Plan", I propose that this conference should not only be a big one, but also a major conference in the field of new materials! ' said an old professor raising his glasses.

"Agreed, for this material conference, I suggest that in the next few months, several more branch chairman meetings should be held, and the preparations for each link should be completed from top to bottom."

"I suggest that the standards for participating students can be lowered appropriately, so that more graduate students majoring in materials in our country, and even some outstanding undergraduate students in materials, can participate in this conference."

The speaker was Professor Qiu Yong, President of Tsinghua University. After speaking, he turned to look at Professor Han Yafang, Secretary General of the Society.

"Professor Han, how many participants did we originally plan for this conference?"

Professor Han Yafang, a famous material scientist in China, a researcher of China Aviation Development Beijing Institute of Aeronautical Materials (referred to as Aviation Materials Institute), and the secretary-general of China Materials Research Society.

But to say it is the most powerful, of course, in 2017, he was elected as the first vice chairman of the International Material Federation (the term of office is 2017-2018) and the chairman (the term of office is 2019-2020). This is also the history of the International Material Federation. The first female president.

The International Federation of Materials is the International Union of Materials Research Societies (IUMARS) for short.

The International Material Federation is also one of the largest international academic associations in the world and a member of the United Nations International Union of Science and Technology (ICSU). It was established in 1991 and is headquartered in the United States.

Does a Chinese person serve as the chairman of such a major international academic organization, does it bring any benefits to China?

Of course there is!

Ahem, for example, on January 1, 2019, some departments of the IAAF headquarters have been moved from Northwestern University to Beijing, China, at least in terms of voice, which can reduce a lot of trouble.

Professor Han thought for a while and said: "According to the current feedback, a total of 12,000 new material science and technology workers and young scholars participated in this conference."

12,000 people compared to 1,165 people, it seems to be more than 10 times that of the latter. According to the number of people, it is indeed hanging and beating each other.

But it's not like this comparison. Among the more than 10,000 people, most of them are composed of graduate students, and they are completely made up for the denominator.

In Guanghua, half of them are well-known scholars at home and abroad, and there are not a few Daniels, and there are nearly 100 academicians at home and abroad.

"12,000?"

Professor Qiu Yong read aloud, raised his head and said decisively: "12,000 is not enough! Since it's too big, I propose to expand the number of participants, and we can release another 3,000 places!"

As soon as these words came out, the bigwigs discussed it one after another, and it seemed that it was feasible.

There are more people, at least the scene is spectacular.

Then, on the preparations for this conference, the discussion lasted for half an hour.

Afterwards, other issues were discussed for ten minutes.

Except for a few middle-aged professors, most of the academicians and old professors began to feel slightly sleepy.

Until Professor Han's words, everyone was instantly refreshed.

"Then let's discuss the issue of Dr. Chen Hao of Guanghua University now, do you want to attract the other party to join my academy?"

In the conference room, it was silent for a moment.

Professor Qiu Yong was the first to break the deadlock. He looked calm and said lightly, "Dr. Chen Hao is a genius who graduated from MIT. If the other party hadn't chosen to take over Guanghua University, I would have personally invited the other party to teach at our Tsinghua University."

"I don't think there is any problem with Dr. Chen Hao's level. It is certain to admit the other party to the Chinese Materials Society, but whether to invite the other party to join is a membership or something else. I think this is what we need to discuss."

As soon as Qiu Yong finished speaking, a professor Zhang from a research institute of a certain group said with an unhappy expression: "Professor Qiu, what do you mean by this? Do you want the other party to be a director?"

"Is he a hairy boy in his thirties, is he worthy of being a director?" Professor Zhang reprimanded on the spot.

"director?"

Professor Qiu Yong replied without giving the other face at all, "If you calculate according to Professor Zhang's qualifications, you are naturally unworthy. But if you calculate according to ability..."

"I think my seat is more than enough for him." Qiu Yong said leisurely.

These words shocked everyone present. Professor Qiu Yong is not only the president of Tsinghua University, but also the vice-chairman of the Council of China Materials Research Society.

There are tens of thousands of members of the China Materials Research Society, but there are only more than 200 directors, and there are only dozens of executive directors.

Above the executive director are the secretary general, vice-chairman, and chairman.

"I admit that Dr. Chen Hao's level is really good, but the vice chairman is too exaggerated, at most a standing director!" Another old professor's eyelids jumped and he couldn't help but speak.

What does the vice chairman mean? That's the point of being able to sit here with them for a meeting!

How can diehards tolerate a young boy in his thirties to become the chairman?

"Since Professor Ruan has said so, so can the executive director." Professor Qiu Yong narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.

"Old Ruan, you... ah!"

Professor Zhang was so angry that his teammates blew his beard and glared at each other.

Professor Ruan also realized with hindsight, and his face fell down.

The emotional partner is Darkness Chen Cang.

Before the meeting, Professor Ruan and Professor Zhang discussed with several professors from the same stubborn faction. It is certain to attract the other party. After all, the achievements and influence of the other party are there. If such a person is not a member of the Chinese Materials Research Society, Isn't that a joke for international friends?

"No, no, I was joking just now. Dr. Chen Hao has just returned to China, and his qualifications are too shallow. I think the director is almost the same." Professor Ruan waved his hand quickly and said.

The directors were also negotiated by them before. Anyway, there are two or three hundred directors in the society, and one more Chen Hao is nothing.

"Professor Ruan just said that he was the executive director, how can he change his mind?"

Professor Qiu Yong ignored these people and turned his eyes to the side, "Professor Nie, what do you say?"

Nie Zuoren, the president of Beijing University of Technology, chuckled, "I agree to invite the other party to join as the executive director, otherwise I'm afraid that the other party will not like a director."

Both belong to the education system, Professor Nie Zuoren and Professor Qiu Yong are quite close in some points of view, and this time they are in the same camp when it comes to Chen Hao of Guanghua University.

"The director still doesn't like it? Then let him go back to the Beautiful Country." Professor Zhang said with a cold face.

This sentence offends several scholars in the prime of life. After all, the more elite they are, the higher the proportion of returnee scholars.

Seeing that there was an argument between the executive director and the director, the chairman of the board, Professor Wei, slapped the table hard.

"Give me silence!

After the voice stopped, Professor Wei smiled and asked Professor Han Yafang, "Professor Han, what do you think?"

"Cough, since Professor Wei asked, then I'll tell you the response of the IAAF."

Professor Han Yafang glanced around the people present, and then smiled: "Last night, the chairman of the International Material Federation called me. The International Material Federation is already considering awarding the annual society award to Dr. Chen Hao, and the IEEE..."

When Han Yafang finished speaking, there was another silence in the conference room.

Professor Wei said with a smile: "Then let's raise our hands to agree to Dr. Chen Hao's appointment as the executive director of the society."

After speaking, Professor Wei took the lead in raising his hand.

Afterwards, he raised his hands together.

As for Professor Zhang himself, he raised his hand unwillingly.

"20 votes in support, it seems that the people's hearts and minds, then passed."

ps: The council members, executive directors, and vice-chairmen of the China Materials Research Society are all elected by the National Member Congress, but they generally follow the process, and important candidates have been decided before the election.

Three thousand chapters are asking for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets! !

(The last chapter was ripped off. I guess it was about ym. I wanted to publicize positive energy things, such as Lao Zhao... alas, a sigh.)

Tucao, I took a plane to Chongqing tonight, but the procrastination was serious, and I went out late, which made the airport bus unable to catch up. It was really uncomfortable. It cost 172 yuan for a taxi, and I lost blood! !

This is where procrastination comes in, woohoo.
