Xinmin Evening News (reporter Gao Yang) The third session of the World's Top Scientists Forum opened this morning, and Roger Kornberg, chairman of the World Association of Top Scientists, overcame various difficulties during the epidemic and arrived in Shanghai to participate in the forum. At the opening ceremony, Kornberg sent four thanks.
Roger Kornberg sent his first thank you to President Xi Jinping. "President Xi Jinping pointed out in his congratulatory letter to the Second World Top Scientists Forum: China will strengthen international scientific and technological exchanges with a more open attitude, and rely on platforms such as the World Top Scientists Forum to promote the ideological wisdom and research results of Chinese and foreign scientists into a powerful driving force for economic and social development." "Today, President Xi Jinping once again said in his video speech that he is willing to work with the world's top scientists and international scientific and technological organizations to strengthen research on major scientific issues, increase common scientific and technological cracking, and deepen collaboration on key strategic scientific projects," Kornberg said. That's the goal of our Association of the World's Top Scientists. ”
The second thank you, Roger Kornberg, sent to Li Qiang, secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee. He thanked Li Qiang for his foresight and advocacy and support for the World's Top Scientists Forum. "In the past three years, I and the scientists on the Executive Committee of the Association have been deeply touched by mr. Li Qiang's warm friendship. With the efforts of Mr. Li Qiang, the Association of the World's Top Scientists is influential all over the world.
Roger Kornberg presented the third thank you to the Prince, Secretary-General of the World Association of Top Scientists. He said that the creation of the World's Top Scientists Association was Mr. Wang Hou's idea, and he has always been an unwavering supporter of basic disciplines and training young scientists for international cooperation.
"As we all know, the past year has been tough. The balance between controlling the outbreak and protecting economic activity has been difficult, and international conferences have been almost all online or postponed. The third world's top scientist forum can be combined in an online + offline manner, which is inseparable from the joint efforts of the Shanghai Municipal Government, the China Association for Science and Technology and other organizers. Roger Kornberg sent a fourth thanks.
"The world has never experienced a catastrophe of this magnitude, nor has it seen such a large-scale international cooperation. Everyone has worked hard, and next year this problem will definitely be solved and will be in a stronger position. "We will pass on the spirit of scientific inquiry and create educational programs for young people and people of all ages." ”
