World Nuclear University Tsinghua Week 2025 Summer School 

Held at Huizhou University

From July 14 to 19, the World Nuclear University Tsinghua Week 2025 Summer School 

was successfully held at Huizhou University. Co-hosted by the Institute of Nuclear and 

New Energy Technology of Tsinghua University, the World Nuclear University, and the 

Chinese Nuclear Society, and jointly organized by Huizhou University and CGN Huapeng Technology Energy (Guangdong) Co., Ltd., the event centered on the theme The Global 

Nuclear Industry Today. It attracted experts and scholars from institutions including the

International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the World Nuclear Association (WNA), 

Tsinghua University, the Chinese Nuclear Society, and China General Nuclear Power 

Group (CGN), as well as over 100 outstanding students from more than 30 universities 

at home and abroad, who gathered to discuss the frontiers of global nuclear energy

development.

Opening Ceremony: Ushering in a New Chapter for Nuclear Energy’s Future

On the morning of July 14, the opening ceremony of the summer school took place in

Conference Room A201, Glorious Sun Technology Building, Huizhou University. The 

ceremony was presided over by Professor Tong Jiejuan, Secretary of the Party 

Committee of the Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology of Tsinghua 

University. In his address, Wang Sheng, President of Huizhou University, 

comprehensively introduced the university’s disciplinary layout and research progress 

in the new energy sector. He noted that Huizhou University closely aligns with the 

green and low-carbon industrial development needs of the Guangdong-Hong 

Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, adding majors such as New Energy Materials and 

Devices, and Energy Storage Science and Engineering. Leveraging research platforms 

including the Heavy IonAccelerator Engineering Technology Research Center and the

Guangdong Provincial KeyLaboratory of Electronic Functional Materials and Devices, 

the university has achieved multiple applied research outcomes in new energy 

batteries and core electronic components, committed to cultivating high-quality 

talents for the regional clean energy industry.

Distinguished guests including Jiang Shengyao, Vice Chairman of the University Council 

of Tsinghua University and Vice President of the Chinese Nuclear Society; Academician 

Abel González, Member of the IAEA Safety Standards Committee; Academician Xia 

Jiawen of the Chinese Academy of Engineering; Fu Moran, Director of the World 

Nuclear Association Asia Region; Hu Jinyao, Vice Mayor of Huizhou City; and Pang 

Songtao, Deputy General Manager of CGN, delivered speeches respectively, highly 

recognizing the summer school’s significance in promoting nuclear energy technology

exchanges and talent development.

In-Depth Research and Learning: Focusing on Nuclear Energy Frontiers and Practice

Over the six-day event, the curriculum closely followed global nuclear energy 

development hot topics, covering six modules: nuclear energy policy, advanced reactor

technology, nuclear safety and radiation protection, nuclear fuel cycle, sustainable 

development of nuclear energy, and international cooperation. Through expert lectures,

thematic seminars, and case studies, participants explored in depth the innovative 

paths and application prospects of nuclear energy technology under the Dual Carbon 

goals. Additionally, the event organized on-site visits to enterprises such as CGN, 

allowing participants to gain first-hand insights into the industrialization process of 

nuclear energy technology and enhance their ability to integrate theory with practice.

Closing Ceremony: Building a Bridge for Global Nuclear Energy Cooperation

The summer school concluded successfully on the afternoon of July 19. In her closing 

address, Li Bingyan, Deputy Director of the Science and Technology Department of 

Huizhou University, stated that the event was not only an academic feast but also an

opportunity window for the university to deeply integrate into the global nuclear 

energy innovation network. Participating teachers and students remarked that the 

activity broadened their academic horizons and provided a valuable exchange 

platform for young scholars in the nuclear energy field at home and abroad.

As one of the organizers, Huizhou University demonstrated its achievements in new 

energy discipline development and industry-university-research integration, further 

enhancing its academic influence in the energy sector. Going forward, Huizhou 

University will continue to deepen cooperation with institutions including Tsinghua 

University and the World Nuclear University, supporting the Guangdong-Hong 

Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in building a clean energy innovation hub and 

contributing wisdom and strength to the sustainable development of global nuclear 

energy.
