My art is too advanced.

Chapter 325 So eager to get gilded? (Seeking monthly votes!!!)
"Forget it, let the higher-ups worry about it." Principal Gao approved it directly through him, but there's still another layer above.

The review was conducted by high-ranking officials from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

soon.

A document was sent to the university president's office.

After glancing at it, Principal Gao frowned slightly.

"Well, it's both unexpected and perhaps reasonable."

In fact, this information is more than sufficient to apply for academician status. However, the document states that the applicant is still young and suggests that he participate in management at either the Chinese Academy of Sciences or the Chinese Academy of Engineering for a year before being granted academician status.

Teacher Guo quickly called Zhou Yue over again.

"The higher-ups didn't give you the title of academician, but they did give you the title of director of the Chinese Academy of Sciences office. And the higher-ups' intention is already very clear: they will give you the academician title next year."

“Sure,” Zhou Yue agreed, finding this to be reasonable.

Although he failed to be elected as an academician, it was within reason, and he had even expected this result.

After all, that's how things are in China; even the most gifted have to endure hardship.

However, I thought...

This matter will soon come to an end, and nobody cares about it, not even him.

Putting everything else aside, aside from his academician title, he now wields more power than most academicians.

And at only twenty-five years old this year, she has a lot of potential!

However, one email directly broke the principal's defenses.

"They're messing with us!"

This is Imperial College London inviting Zhou Yue to become a member of the European Academy of Sciences, which is affiliated with Imperial College London.

They felt that Zhou Yue was still young and might need more time to mature, especially since the documents had just been issued.

But should we extend an invitation directly from outside?
indeed.

Some foreign academies of sciences often invite world-renowned scholars to become their foreign academicians, which is basically equivalent to being a visiting professor. It does not affect your main job or normal work at all, and it does not even affect your activities in your own country.

The benefits here are very generous, and you only need to provide some guidance on certain projects.

You can refuse if you want to.

These foreign academicians, if they don't want to put in the effort, are basically just figureheads.

However, if you want to do any project, you can apply for funding from them, and they will do their best to support you. Of course, the results will be split equally with them.

This is entirely beneficial to a person.

This title is actually a good thing for both sides.

Scholars can use this title to legitimately lecture at other universities, and even get a job at Imperial College London.

Their status can also rise accordingly, since there are very few world-renowned scholars, and there aren't many people in this field.

Principal Gao didn't say much and simply sent the email to Ningbo University.

Principal Yang also took it seriously and held a meeting.

Zhou Yue sat below, unsure of what to say.

Of course, Principal Yang's ideas differed from Principal Gao's.

“I think Professor Zhou can totally accept this. This way, we will have another academician of the Imperial Academy of Sciences in our country, and our university can also take advantage of this title.”

"After all, the title of academician is quite prestigious."

Zhou Yue glanced at Principal Yang in surprise.

While it is indeed highly prestigious, this prestige is primarily used when appointing academicians who have returned from studying abroad as external consultants.

There was absolutely no mention of your local expert being invited to the Imperial Academy of Sciences.

After all, this is one of the top three scientific organizations in the world.

Moreover, their reputation is simply too great. Overseas PhDs with such titles, regardless of their age, would be willing to pay a hefty sum to recruit them.

I'm putting you in charge of developing the discipline.

After all, this title already signifies a world-class scholar.

There's nothing wrong with hiring them back at a high price.

The problem arises here.

Others go abroad and come back with a gilded resume; it doesn't matter if you spend more money.

He hasn't even gone out yet, and people are already eager to give him a prestigious title. He still has to consider whether to accept it or not.

There's nothing wrong with accepting him, after all, he has many collaborative projects with Imperial College London.

I just feel a little awkward.

While the meeting was in progress, Professor Chris personally sent him an email.

It's simply a matter of congratulating his two journals on successfully entering the ranks of the top tier.

The Imperial Academy of Sciences is one of the main forces that evaluates these journals. They are well aware of Zhou Yue's influence on the two major journals, and in this discipline, Zhou Yue is a world-class scholar!
“I think it’s feasible, after all, most of our top academicians actually hold this title.”

"It's not really an outsourcing job, it's just a collaboration with them."

"After all, science has no borders, and we must align with international standards in the development of disciplines."

No one objected.

Zhou Yue himself felt there was no need to object, after all, it was just a title.

It's a perfectly normal thing.

It was just a little dramatic.

They felt they still needed more experience, but they were directly invited from outside.

It can only be said that these different scientific groups have different considerations.

Science knows no borders, but scientists do have national boundaries.

Zhou Yue had no intention of collaborating with them on any particularly sophisticated projects, nor did he plan to go abroad.

If this title is beneficial to Ningbo University's academic development, then there's no problem.

Moreover, even in China, most of the top academicians hold titles of academician of foreign academies of sciences, which is perfectly normal.

After all, these titles are very useful when you're going abroad for exchanges.

"Alright, since everyone has reached a consensus, let's settle this matter here."

Principal Yang made the decision.

President Gao looked at the reply email, didn't say much, and forwarded it to Imperial College London.

"Twenty-five years old, a foreign academician in such a large scientific organization?"

"They really have guts."

After all, even foreign academicians have ten million yuan in available funding each year.

It can be used as seed money for a project. In other words, as long as you apply for a project, you can gradually get this 10 million. Although they know that Teacher Zhou's value is not in this 10 million, it is indeed very bold.

soon.

The Imperial Academy of Sciences has updated its list of members.

Zhou Yue's profile picture quickly appeared on it.

He became the third member of the Imperial Academy of Sciences to hold Chinese citizenship.

Even said.

It's not time to select academicians yet. They will extend invitations directly after evaluating the journals' rankings. The time wasted in that process is all due to procedures.
