Paul Alivisatos, president of the University of Chicago in the United States, said that the scale and complexity of global problems are increasing day by day, and all countries and industries need to respond in an open and cooperative manner; at the same time, universities and their partners need to adopt more open response strategies by promoting progress in thinking and encouraging scientific innovation. Especially in the fields of global climate change, public health, new energy development, etc., universities should go beyond the limitations of language and disciplines in a "cooperation rather than isolation" way, and are committed to pursuing truth, engaging in dialogue, and achieving resonance.
, president of the University of Geneva, Switzerland, Ives Fluckger, said that human beings are in an era of fragility and facing multiple challenges, and the importance of university roles is becoming increasingly prominent.
