In order to enhance the understanding of ICARE, optimize the structure of our graduate students, and provide a professional academic exchange platform for undergraduate students who intend to do their further studies at ICARE, on July 30, 2020, the 2020 National Academic Summer Camp of ICARE officially kicked-off online. After pre-registration and selection, more than 60 outstanding students from universities across the country participated in this event. ICARE Chinese Dean Prof. Luo Xiaobing, ICARE Deputy Dean Mr.Yi Hui,, ICARE Research Center Director Prof. Hu Song, Education Center Director Ms. Liu Yang, ICARE Student Affair Advisor Dr. Liang Yuanyuan, and ICARE Research and Consultation Center Director Assistant Li Zhitian attended the opening ceremony.



At the opening ceremony on the morning of July 30th, Prof. Luo Xiaobing first expressed a warm welcome to the students participating in this summer camp and introduced the campers from the history, mission and vision, scientific research, employment, and fees of the institute. He also encouraged the campers to come to ICARE for their further studies. Subsequently, student representative Yang Yuchen welcomed the campers on behalf of all the students of ICARE. She talked freely about her views, from her personal experience, on the study, scientific research, and overseas internships at ICAER. After the short ice-breaking ceremony, Mr. Yi Hui, Prof. Hu Song, and Ms. Liu Yang gave more detailed information to the campers concerning enrollment, admission, tuition, scholarships, training, overseas selection and employment trends.


The summer camp has added an online communication part with foreign tutors and senior ICARE students. On the afternoon of July 30th, Prof. Alain Thorel and Prof. Ian Forbes, representing the European tutors of ICARE, despite of the time difference and the inconvenience of online communication participated the summer camp. They were divided into two groups, Hydrogen & Storage and Solar PV, by using Zoom as communicating platform to meet the campers online. In the evening, senior students who are studying in France made short exchanges with the campers through online platform.



On the morning of July 31, four Chinese tutors Wen Chang, Wu Peng, Jiang Long, and Wang Mingkui, introduced the basic information of their research group, research direction, scientific research strength, faculty members and postgraduate training to the campers. In the afternoon, by Zoom and Tencent conferences, Prof. Hu Song and Prof.Yang Qing interviewed the campers one by one with the assistance of MS. Liu Yang and Ms. Tan Yaling.


The online summer camp has ended successfully on July 31. The campers expressed that although the online summer camp is a new and unusual experience, and the network signal sometimes slightly affects the communication, this experience has benefited a lot. Through the two-day network communication, the unique charm of new energy technology has been strengthened. They have gained a more in-depth understanding of the strong faculty of ICARE, increased their interest in scientific research, and gave them a clearer idea on the directions of their futures.
