On November 20, 2024, the "2024 Jilin University China-Japan Hydrological Workshop for Young Scientists" was successfully held in Changchun, Jilin. The workshop was primarily based on the Jilin University China-Japan-South Korea Water Science Education and Research Cooperation Platform and Academic Alliance. It invited young scientists, including graduate students and postdocs, from the University of Tokyo and Nagoya University in Japan to visit Jilin University and engage in academic exchanges with graduate students from the College of New Energy and Environment, Jilin University.
The workshop was moderated by Associate Professor Youcan Feng, and Associate Professor Gaohong Yin attended it. Prof. Feng introduced Changchun, Jilin University, the College of New Energy and Environment, and the Department of Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering in sequence for the overseas visitors, showcasing our academic strengths and research progress. Prof. Feng extended a warm welcome to the outstanding young scientists from the University of Tokyo and Nagoya University, expressing his hope that the workshop would promote academic exchange and cooperation.
