A group of IHEP scientists, headed by Prof. PAN Weimin, Deputy Director of the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) visited the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), the Sichuan University and the Southwest Jiaotong University in Chengdu from March 17 to 18.

From 2012, IHEP singed cooperative agreements on talent cultivation separately with the three universities in Chengdu. In accordance with the cooperative agreements, the parties jointly ran ”Qian Sanqiang Talent Class” in the universities, which aimed to cultivate young talents for the research of high energy physics.

Special curriculum would be added and high caliber teachers would be arranged for the class. Teachers would be encouraged to strengthen their contacts and exchanges with IHEP scientists. The class was also set to attract more young people to fall in love with scientific research, to foster excellent talents in the related fields.

During their visit in Chengdu, IHEP scientists had a face-to-face communication with the university students and introduced the institute. Excellent students were selected to award the QIAN Sanqiang Talent Prize in 2016.
