Cambridge Journey of Marie Curie Researchers / 玛丽·居里学者剑桥行
Are you searching for companions who resonate with you on your scientific journey?
Do you wish to engage in deep conversations about research and life with scholars from around the world, in the ancient and inspiring city of Cambridge?
Jointly organized by the MCAA China Chapter and the Cambridge University Chinese Students and Scholars Association, and co-organized by the MCAA UK Chapter and the MCAA AI group, the event “Marie Curie Researchers in Cambridge” is about to begin!
This event aims to foster communication and collaboration among Marie Curie researchers, promote international academic exchange, raise awareness of the EU Marie Curie and Horizon programs, and build a platform for in-depth dialogue between Marie Curie and Cambridge scholars.
On this land that has birthed countless sparks of thought—
Newton pondered gravity beneath the apple tree at Trinity College,
Darwin envisioned the mystery of evolution at Christ’s College,
and Hawking gazed into the cosmos from Trinity Hall, seeking the edge of the universe.
Here, Russell penned the sharp light of philosophy,
Keynes reshaped our understanding of economics,
and Turing, with the power of mathematics, opened the prelude to artificial intelligence.
Even Xu Zhimo once left his gentle verse by the River Cam:
"I am leaving quietly, just as I came quietly."
Now, new ideas and new explorations converge once again in Cambridge.
In this unique journey of academia and culture, thoughts will shine at the intersection of history and innovation, and both research and friendship will quietly take root by the River Cam, carrying forward the unceasing flame of Cambridge’s eight centuries of learning.
你是否在科研之路上寻找“同频”的伙伴？
是否想在古老而充满灵气的剑桥，与来自世界各地的学者们畅谈科研与生活？由玛丽·居里学者华人学会与剑桥中国学联联合主办，玛丽·居里学者英国分会及玛丽·居里学者人工智能分会协办的“玛丽·居里学者剑桥行”即将启程！
本次活动旨在促进玛丽居里学者之间的沟通与合作，推动国际科研交流，宣传欧盟玛丽·居里项目及地平线项目，并搭建玛丽·居里学者与剑桥学者深入交流的平台。
在这片孕育无数思想火花的土地上，
牛顿在三一学院的苹果树下思索万有引力，
达尔文在基督学院构想出进化的奥秘，
霍金从三一学堂仰望星空，探寻宇宙的尽头。
罗素在此书写哲学的锋芒，
凯恩斯在此思考经济的未来，
图灵以数学之智，开启人工智能的序章。
而徐志摩曾在康桥河畔留下轻柔的诗行：“我轻轻的来，正如我轻轻的去。”
如今，新的思想与新的探索再次在剑桥汇聚。
在这场别开生面的学术与文化之旅中，
思想将在历史与创新的交汇中闪耀火花，
让科研与友谊在剑河畔悄然生根，
延续剑桥八百年未息的求知之光。
