Prof. Yang Left for UK's Nottingham
Yang Fujia, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and famous nuclear physicist of China, Thursday arrived at Nottingham in Britain to take up the post of fifth presidency of the University of Nottingham.
Prof. Yang, having been former president of Fudan University, now 65, holds concurrently several posts including serving as special advisor to the president of Hong Kong University. Usually only royal members or those with ranks of nobility can be selected as presidents of British universities. It is the first time in history for a famous British university, the Nottingham University, to invite a Chinese scientist to be its president. Pictured here is Prof. Yang Fujia (right) talking to Mr. Collin Compel, vice president of the University of Nottingham, in London.
