The Zhu Kezhen Annual Distinguished Lectureship was
established in 1997 to bring to Zhejiang University
a world leader of a scientific and technological field
in which Zhejiang University already has strength to
facilitate collaborations. The lecture events are to
extend over several days during which the lecturer disseminates
the latest advances, discusses the future trends as
to where the field is going, and addresses the University
community at large. The lectureship is named after Dr.
Zhu Kezhen. Thus, the occasion is also an opportunity
to remember and honor Dr. Zhu.
