Strategic Symposium on Major Scientific Issues in Grid-related Areas was held in Suzhou around Oct 24-25. The symposium, targeted at The National Basic Research Program (also called 973 Program), was organized by EE College and Institutional Technology Research Institute of Zhejiang University. Prof Cheng Shijie, Fellow of Chinese Academy of Sciences, chaired the symposium.
The symposium, targeted at The National Basic Research Program was successfully held in Suzhou on Oct 24-25.
The symposium attracted over 70 distinguished scholars and experts in areas of Electrical Engineering, among which there were members of “Thousand Talents” Program, Cheung Kong Chair Professors, recipients of China National Funds for Distinguished Young Scientists and for Outstanding Young Scientists, etc. The participants have been involved in a 2-day-long profound exploration on such major basic issues as framework for future power grid, power dispatching management, system security, power electronic devices and equipments. Prof Xu Dehong and Prof Sheng Kuang from EE College delivered respectively keynote speeches. Prof He Xiangning as session chair of Power Electronics and Electrical Machines, made a presentation on how to effectively work on the project proposal to meet the requirements of 973 programs.
The outcome of the Symposium will definitely provide valuable information for project proposal both on areas of the new-generation power grid by 973 Program, and on major Electrical Engineering research programs by the National Natural Science Foundation.
