上周，宁波诺丁汉大学第六届博士研究生学术年会暨2020宁波市研究生学术节英文分会顺利闭幕。
此次会议吸引了线上线下600多名中外师生和校外专家学者参加，给在读研究生提供了一个展示科研成果的舞台、向前辈和学术大咖学习的课堂、与校内外专家及同行交流合作的机会。
专家学者齐聚宁诺
宁诺执行校长尼克·迈尔斯在开幕式致辞,介绍了宁诺博士教育的基本情况及科研发表的优异成绩。他强调，学校不仅对博士提供科研方面的支持，更注重他们未来发展的综合能力培养。
宁诺研究生院院长及全球事务长张毓隆教授、中国科学院宁波材料技术与工程研究所研究员李赫教授为本次会议做了主旨演讲。张毓隆教授介绍了如何可持续地发展科研事业，并现场邀请两位博士毕业生李伯莹和管正之分享了他们在宁诺读博期间参加学术会议和发表学术论文的经验。李赫教授则对博士研究生读博时可能面对的挑战及如何展示自己的科研成果等给出了建议。
追求创新、支持学生独立思考并相信学生拥有无限潜能是宁诺博士培养的重要理念。导师们经常鼓励博士生自由地提出自己的想法，同时启发学生的思路，引导学生们如何解决问题，而不是直接给出答案。正是在这样的氛围之下，宁诺的博士才能投入到科研中去，坚持到最后。
张毓隆教授在演讲中提到博士毕业生Felix的例子，他说读博、做科研就像是跑马拉松，过程漫长且艰辛，但只要坚持下去，调整好节奏，就一定能够到达终点。Felix在科研中遇到困难，想要放弃的时候，张教授就用他们一起参加马拉松的经历来鼓舞他，最终，他凭着这份信念顺利毕业并获得博士学位。
本次学术年会也展现了宁诺科研团队的壮大和凝聚力。在宁诺，导师们一直鼓励博士生加强国际合作并多向优秀的前辈学习。学校会经常邀请学术大咖、专家学者举办学术活动，让博士生有更多机会进行学术交流与合作。来自中科院材料所、中国科学技术大学、苏州大学、宁波市科协、宁波市社科联、宁波市博联等其他高校和科研机构的专家学者对本次会议中宁诺博士生的学术汇报提出了宝贵建议。
博士登台展示，收获颇丰
本次会议共设四个独立分会场。在学术展示环节，博士生对近期自己的研究课题、研究方法与阶段结果进行了个人陈述并与评审团专家和观众互动问答。评审团队由宁波诺丁汉大学、宁波大学、中国科学技术大学和苏州大学教师组成，严格按照评定规则对学生的表现进行打分。最终，6名表现优异的博士生获得了本次博士生科研学术年会的最佳学术之星。
来自宁诺商学院的最佳学术之星宋潇斐说，“通过这次学术年会，我结识了很多来自不同研究背景的新朋友。”
她表示，能够在线下和专家学者面对面交流，听取教授和其他博士生的建议，真是受益匪浅。人文社科学院的最佳学术之星Dennis Senam Amable说，“专家学者们所给的反馈很有帮助，这次经历对我的研究项目和学术生涯影响都非常重大。”
博士研究生学术年会每两年举行一次，对于在宁诺学习的博士研究生来说，这样的学术交流能让他们对自己的学术生涯更有信心，参会期间，他们也结识了更多志同道合的博士生和教授。
至今，宁诺研究生院已经举办了六次博士研究生学术年会，并会在日后继续为博士生提供良好的支持与参与类似研究活动的机会。希望通过此类活动，宁诺的学术团队与科研实力日益成熟壮大，有更多机会与国内外高校学者、博士生交流与合作。
UNNC 6th Postgraduate Research Conference held
November 20: The University of Nottingham Ningbo China held the 6th Postgraduate Research (PGR) Conference and 2020 Ningbo Graduate Academic Festival English Parallel Sessions in the new library. More than 600 students and academics participated in this event offline and online.
UNNC Provost Professor Nick Miles gave an opening speech to introduce the general information about UNNC PhD education and spoke highly on the excellent performance of UNNC PhDs in research output. He emphasised that UNNC offers not only research support to PhDs, but also the training necessary for their future academic careers.
Professor Alain Chong, Dean of Graduate School and Global Engagement from UNNC, delivered a speech on how to “develop a sustainable research career”. Professor He Li from Marine Materials and Related Technologies CNITECH CAS, shared some useful suggestions for new PhD students facing real research challenges with their studies.
The PGR conference held four parallel sessions. The Judging Panel consisted of professors from each faculty of UNNC and partner institutes and provided rigorous evaluation and gave marks to all the participating postgraduate students during the academic presentation. At the end of the conference, the 3 best presentations and 3 most innovative presentations were presented with awards.
Xiaofei Song, a Best Presenter said: “Through its well-scheduled sessions, I have met new friends from different research backgrounds.” The conference provided her with a chance to present her research project and collect helpful feedback and suggestions to improve it. Dennis Senam Amable, another Best Presenter also commented that “the feedback from the panel and the experience gained will significantly impact my project and academic career”.
At UNNC, pursuing innovation, supporting independent thinking and believing that students have unlimited potential are the core concepts of doctoral education. Supervisors encourage PhD students to come up with their own ideas, enlighten students' thinking and guide them on how to solve problems rather than give answers directly.
Doctoral students are encouraged to attend international conferences and learn from outstanding seniors. The University often invites academic experts and scholars and holds activities to give researchers opportunities for exchanges and cooperation.
The Postgraduate Research Conference takes place once every two years. For UNNC PGR students, this is a great opportunity to practice their presentation skills and network with professors and fellow researchers.
