Jeudi 24 mars 2022, un public animé a participé à la résidence de l’Ambassadeur de Suisse et en ligne à notre événement du Mois de la francophonie pour découvrir comment les Objectifs de Développement Durable (ODD) peuvent être atteints grâce à l'innovation. Cette édition spéciale de Café des Sciences, entièrement en français, a été organisée par l’ambassade de Suisse en Chine avec le soutien de Swissnex.
From day one, I felt like a part of the team. And now, six months later, with new knowledge under my belt, new projects on the horizon, and a heart full of friendship and congeniality that I’ve found among my dearest colleagues at Swissnex, I set off again into the world and hoping that our path will cross again soon.
On February 24, in the fifth edition of nexFrontier series, we invited experts from the Swiss National Centre of Competence in Research LIVES – Overcoming vulnerability: Life course perspectives (NCCR LIVES), University of Zurich, University of Lausanne, China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) and Chinese University of Hong Kong to introduce trends and resources in professional wellbeing and lifelong learning.
Swissnex's well-designed public events unveiled an innovative new world to me, which incrementally developed my interest in knowing the frontier research, deep-tech, and related applications. Working at Swissnex is far beyond a dream come true, but also a holy light illuminating the gloomy days during this unstable pandemic period, meanwhile showing me the diverse paths that can be paved and extended from the core of Science to reach a common good and a reciprocal friendship at a national level.
On Jan 20, the 31st Café des Sciences event “Assistive Technology for Individuals with Visual Impairment” kicked off our 2022 lecture series focusing on the theme of social innovation. The event highlighted two researchers from Switzerland and one researcher from China working on assistive technology that can help visually impaired persons “see” more, and increase the level of accessibility in their life, study, and work.
In December 2021, UNArt Center – an art space and an integrated communication platform that interlinks technology, art, and education founded in 2019 – launched its new initiative titled “Complexity-X”. The art-science team at Swissnex in China had the pleasure to be invited to join this cohort comprised of many players active in interdisciplinary collaborations in Shanghai, as well as scientists and independent artists interested in cross-discipline exchange.
My personal development won’t be easily achieved without a supportive team that guided me. Thanks to all my colleagues for supporting me tirelessly through these six months whenever I need some wisdom. Swissnex in China to me is a new home in Shanghai.
