2月26日，浙江省教育厅汤筱疏副厅长莅临宁波诺丁汉大学检查春季开学工作并听取学校办学发展汇报。

上午9时，汤筱疏一行首先来到学校理工楼了解情况。宁波诺丁汉大学党委书记应雄向汤筱疏汇报了学校细化疫情防控的各项扎实举措。

得知宁波诺丁汉大学已经正常开学，汤筱疏仔细询问学校是否有境外或国内中高风险地区旅居史师生，叮嘱应切实执行健康管理措施，同时也要做好相应服务工作。

她对学校疫情防控工作的细致入微给予充分肯定。“去年，面对新冠疫情，你们能率先在春季重启校园、开学复课，这非常不易，也为今年疫情防控打下了良好的基础。希望今年继续保持校园管控的各项‘硬核’措施。”

在宁波诺丁汉大学医学影像中心，理工学院院长吴韬教授向汤筱疏介绍了中心正在攻关的科研难题。“目前团队正在全力研发一套1.5T可旋转的躺卧姿或站姿无液氦核磁共振成像仪，这应该是世界上第一台临床可用的全身型可旋转MRI仪器。与此同时，团队也正联合宁波市各医院和相关国外院校进行科研攻关，运用超极化气体核磁共振技术评估新冠的病程发展和愈后损伤。”

听到这里，汤筱疏表示肯定：“这项研究很好，潜力很大！”她指出，学校要充分发挥在科研创新中的重要作用，多出高水平的原创成果；紧密对接地方产业，打造产学研全链条。

随后，汤筱疏一行前往学校图书馆听取校方办学发展汇报。

宁波诺丁汉大学执行校长尼克 · 迈尔斯校长向汤筱疏简要介绍了宁诺的办学历史和“十四五”规划。

他特别提到诺丁汉大学卓越灯塔计划（宁波）创新研究院的最新进展：目前正进行过渡场地改造，很快将正式启动运行。作为一个开放的国际化科技创新平台，创新研究院将集合诺丁汉大学的科研“优势兵力”，引进世界一流的科技创新与人才资源，探索全球面临的关键问题并找出解决方案；同时结合地方战略发展需求，助推地方战略转型和创新发展。

听取汇报后，汤筱疏首先表达了宁诺国际化高水平办学给她留下的深刻印象。“来到慕名已久的宁波诺丁汉大学，校园贴近自然，图书馆书香环绕。看到我们的科研与浙江产业发展高度契合，带动产业、集聚人才，我认为这非常好，未来可期！”

汤筱疏也对宁诺下一阶段的发展提出指导意见：“希望宁波诺丁汉大学不仅成为中外合作办学的典范，更能成为高校与地方和产业对接、为地方社会经济发展作出贡献的典范。这里是一个非常大的天地，希望宁诺能多出亮点、多出硕果，期待能再次来到学校共叙发展。”

Deputy Director of Zhejiang Provincial Department of Education visits UNNC

February 26: Tang Xiaoshu, Deputy Director of Zhejiang Provincial Department of Education, visited the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) to inspect the campus opening work for the spring term and investigate the University’s strategy and work plan for the future.

At knowing the Spring Term has already started, Tang inquired if there are staff and students returning from high-risk regions in China or overseas. Ying Xiong, Party Secretary of UNNC introduced the preparation work UNNC did before re-opening and the measures of pandemic prevention and control. Tang spoke highly of these efforts and hoped that University would continue its performance based on the strong foundations laid over the last year.

In the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Research Centre, Dean of the Faculty of Science and Engineering Professor Wu Tao introduced current research to Tang. “Currently the team is working on the development of the world’s first 1.5T rotatable dual-gesture cryogen-free MRI. Besides this, we also cooperate with local hospitals and institutes overseas to carry out scientific research, using hyperpolarised noble-gases MRI to study lung function, healing and development of Covid-19.”

Tang affirmed the research achievements and pointed out that the University should play a significant role in scientific research and innovation, producing more breakthrough achievements, connecting closely with local industries and establishing a chain of university-industry research.

Later, UNNC Provost Nick Miles introduced briefly the University's history and its goals for the “14th Five-Year Plan” phase. “We have been developing a China Beacons Institute, with the joint efforts of Ningbo city and our UK and Chinese partners. The Institute will introduce world-class research and innovation resources from the UK and serve the needs of Zhejiang’s development. An interim premise is under construction and will be officially launched soon.”

Tang appeared impressed with UNNC’s quality international education. “The UNNC campus is so beautiful. And I’m very glad to see that scientific research highly aligns with the development of Zhejiang industry, promoting development and introducing talent. I think this is very good and the future is promising!”

Tang added that the University could be the role model for how colleges and universities connect and interact with local industries and contribute to local social and economic development.
