ZHEJIANG UNIVERSITY RELEASES ‘BIGGER STARTS HERE’ VIDEO FOR 124TH ANNIVERSARY



KUALA LUMPUR, March 18 (Bernama) -- In conjunction with its 124th anniversary on May 21, Zhejiang University recently released the ‘Bigger Starts Here’ video.

The video tells how Zhejiang University’s teachers and students find higher goals in the campus, and brave risks for the social good, according to a statement.

Wang Tun ('95, cryogenics), an alumnus of Zhejiang University, with 12 years of efforts, has built the world's largest earthquake early warning system and China's first multi-disaster early warning technology platform, protecting the lives of hundreds of millions of people.

Meanwhile, associate director of Zhejiang University's Cultural Heritage Research Institute, Professor Li Zhirong, has led a number of projects of historical significance, many of which are highly interdisciplinary in nature.

She successfully combines the University's engineering expertise and its profound sense of mission in preserving Chinese culture and history. Her interdisciplinary team created the world's first movable 3D replica of a 1,500-year-old cave of Yungang Grottoes.

In the same statement, the cover article of Nature recently published the latest result of a Zhejiang University research team on bionic soft intelligent robot.

For the first time, the team realised an exploration with the robot in Mariana Trench, which is 11,000 metres deep, providing solutions for deep sea exploration.

As the title says, ‘Bigger Starts Here’, the century-old institution of higher learning will keep moving forward with greater innovation and achievements.
