The Lunar Landing Project Symposium

These days, Lu Zhou spent most of his time shuttling back and forth between Jin University, the Institute for Advanced Study, and the villa at Zhongshan International—the three points of his daily routine.

Two classes each week were set aside for the undergraduates of Jin University School of Mathematics. Apart from that, he either guided his students in the School of Mathematics office, followed cutting-edge research and papers in mathematics, physics, and materials science, or spent his time with the remains in the underground laboratory.

This rare, regular life had more or less helped him recover a little of the feeling he had back when he worked at Princeton.

To be honest, the more he came into contact with basic teaching work, the more Lu Zhou could sense that certain problems existing at Jin University—or rather, not just at Jin University, but also widely prevalent at other domestic universities—were holding back Jin University's progress toward becoming a world-class university.

Objectively speaking, compared with ten years ago, the overall strength of domestic universities' scientific research had improved considerably. However, there was still a certain gap compared with universities elsewhere in the world.

As for the underlying reasons, Lu Zhou did not dare say that he completely understood them.

Besides well-known realities such as the commercialization of academia, the industrialization of papers, the conversion rate of scientific research achievements, and the neglect of undergraduate education, there were also many problems he could vaguely sense but could not pinpoint.

The Jinling Institute for Advanced Study and the Eastern Industry-Research Consortium were probably both attempts of a sort. He hoped to explore a development model suited to domestic universities.

At the very least, he wanted to make some changes within a limited scope.
