International Congress of Basic Science wraps up in Beijing

The winner of the Basic Science Lifetime Awards for computer science, Leslie Valiant, said: "The conference has allowed me to better understand the latest research developments in various fields, ultimately benefiting us all."

In the "Touring Huairou" event, scientists visited Huairou Science City, Yanqi Lake International Convention Center, China Film Capital, the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Mutianyu Great Wall, and rural homestays, experiencing the unique charm of suburban Huairou scenery and its modern development. The "City of Light" Summer Concert held in the center of Huairou Science City attracted more than 500 guests to enjoy the tranquil evening and the delightful music. They were impressed by the "Huairou Lifestyle," emerging in the perfect integration of science and art.

"The scientific research infrastructure here is astonishing! In Huairou, standing next to the large-scale scientific facilities is truly spectacular! I will definitely collaborate more with Chinese scientists in the future. I especially look forward to having more opportunities to come to Huairou Science City to conduct scientific research."
