“Qiu-Shi” Symposium

― Science & Art

  Science and Art are two significant representations of the creativity and spiritual perfection of Human Being, and are the critical forces and purposes in the advancement of modern society and technology. The ULTIMATE GOAL of Art and Science is to achieve purity and universal truth that is a perfect balance between static and dynamic aesthetic elements.

  To boost the spirit of science and art in the contemporary era, National Chekiang (Zhejiang) University Alumni Association (NCUAA) in North America will organize the first “Qiu-Shi” Symposium—Science & Art on October 15th, 2011 at the 35th annual conference of NCUAA in the beautiful coastal city—San Diego, Southern California.

  The “Qiu-Shi” Symposium goals are to spread the spirit of “Qiushi” (with the literal meaning of "seeking truth" in Chinese), and to promote the spirit of creativity and spiritual perfection. Each year the committee will select 4~5 special topics, and invite related world experts in science, engineering, education, law, finance, humanity, art, and other fields to present their research, discovery, invention, creation, and explain the profound background and force behind their innovation in science and art. The topic of the presentation must be original and systematic; the style of the presentation must be simple but profound, to ensure the ideas and imagination are vividly and accurately delivered, to realize mutual understanding, inspiration, and interaction between researchers in different fields, and to effectively broadcast the latest discovery, invention, and creative achievement, and prospective concept to the public.

  The working languages of the “Qiu-Shi” Symposium are English and Chinese, the major attendees are the Zhejiang University alumni. We also welcome friends from other Universities to join the event.

  The time for each special topic is about 1 hour, 30~45 minutes for one speaker presentation and ~15 minutes for discussion.

  You are cordially invited to join in the “Qiu-Shi” Symposium preparation. We need your assistance to propose topics, invite speakers, and to make the symposium successful!

Sincerely,
The Committee of “Qiu-Shi” Symposium
