Ding Zhongli, the deputy national-level principal, stepped down and was succeeded by L

A few days ago, the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences changed its head.Ding Zhongli, the current vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People's Congress, chairman of the Central Committee of the Democratic League, and vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, no longer concurrently serves as the president of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences.Li Shushen, academician and vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, took over the post and concurrently served as the president and legal representative of UCAS.

If you want to do business, if you want to study finance, if you want to be a civil servant, don't apply for our National University of Science and Technology!Because the National University of Science and Technology wants people who like science.In June 2014, Ding Zhongli, who had just become the principal, once said this to the students.

Since 2014, the National University of Science and Technology began to recruit undergraduates, thus forming a complete higher education system covering the three stages of undergraduate, master, and doctoral degrees, and also completed the leap from graduate school to university.When talking about whether the undergraduate education can be successfully completed, Ding Zhongli said with confidence that the mouse may succeed or fail, but for us, failure is impossible.

In Ding Zhongli's view, when he was the president of UCAS, it was the version 2.0 of the school's integration of science and education, which mainly focused on organizational construction.Counting carefully, UCAS has now established 31 science-education integration colleges (departments), gathering an international-level teaching staff composed of more than 3,000 lecturers and more than 10,000 postgraduate tutors.

In September last year, the National University of Science and Technology attracted people's attention because it failed to be selected as a double first-class university.But Ding Zhongli thinks that there is no big impact, because the evaluation of UCAS must be viewed from a historical perspective. After a few years of evaluation, you will know what historical contributions UCAS has made.As he himself said, since the day when the Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Sciences was renamed the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, we have been running towards the goal of a world-class university.

At the meeting when he resigned, Ding Zhongli put forward three hopes for UCAS: don’t worry, but be steady; build in a down-to-earth way; and pass on the patriotism of serving the country to students.

Ding Zhongli's successor is Academician Li Shushen.In fact, he has a deep relationship with the National University of Science and Technology.

Li Shushen

According to public information, in 1983, Li Shushen graduated from the Department of Physics of Hebei Normal University, and later received a master's degree from Southwest Jiaotong University and a doctorate from the Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences.In 2006, he served as the deputy director and deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences.After being elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2011, Li Shushen became a member of the party group and vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in December last year.

At the National University of Science and Technology, Li Shushen served as the dean of the School of Materials Science and Optoelectronic Technology for a long time, and was also the head teacher of the first undergraduate class 1412.Under his leadership, the materials discipline of UCAS has entered the top ten-thousandth of the ESI rankings, and was selected into the first batch of national first-class discipline construction list.

Friends commented that the reason why Li Shushen is successful is that he not only has a high IQ, but also a high EQ.In everyone's impression, he always has a modest smile, and at the same time he is good at mobilizing and playing the role of the team to create a harmonious environment.

As his successor, Li Shushen also paid tribute to Ding Zhongli.He said that the reason why UCAS enjoys today's prestige and status is inseparable from the wisdom, knowledge, thoughts and love of Comrade Ding Zhongli and the previous leaders of UCAS.The goal he set for himself is to build and develop UCAS well, and strive to write a new chapter in building a world-class university.
