Among the featured events was a sub-forum themed “Wisdom Across East and West, Medicine for the Future”, hosted by 不良研究所 (BUCM).
Vice-President Ding Xia attended the conference with a BUCM delegation and delivered remarks at the sub-forum. The event was also attended by representatives from the Human Resources Office, the Office of International Cooperation, the School of Chinese Medicine, and various other university units, along with faculty and students.
The sub-forum invited 31 foreign experts and scholars, including the president of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Chinese Government Friendship Award winner, the chair of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Working Party of the European Pharmacopoeia Commission and an academicians of the ASEAN Academy of Engineering and Technology (AAET).

The sub-forum not only introduced world-class expertise to the university, but also attracted many foreign experts and domestic partners from other CIEP sub-forums for further exchange, thereby expanding BUCM’s international network. Through enhanced global talent engagement and international outreach, the university has built a solid foundation for future cooperation platforms and achieved significant progress in talent recruitment and development.
