Probably the last output of the project "Factors influencing current and expected career trajectories of PhD students and PhD holders in China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan” sponsored by the Hong Kong University Grants Committee. In this paper, Huan Li and I explore the ageism and career anxiety of Chinese doctoral students. We find that career competitive driven scripts are defining ideals of the academic profession, age scripts, and affecting life decisions already during doctoral studies. #highereducation #highered #ageism #age #phdstudent #time #phdjourney Link to the paper: https://lnkd.in/gFWfrKK4

Shared an article published with my co-authors(Kun Dai; @Xiaoyuan Li; Oluwasegun Oladipo) in June 2023. It took us approximately three and a half years to publish. This article focuses on the doctoral journey: what motivates international doctoral students to study in China.Higher Education Research and Development https://lnkd.in/gZCw75hm

People often say that young people in Japan lack motivation and many seem to have no dreams. One way I think we can motivate young people more in universities and national research institutes is by having professors and associate professors themselves provide young, inexperienced students with research topics that no one else in the world is working on. This would allow them to experience what it means to conduct pioneering research. It depends on whether professors, associate professors, and assistant professors themselves have ideas for such themes. I have never been a university professor or associate professor, but I am confident that I could do this. No matter how difficult the university or research institute a student enters, if they join a lab without such innovative ideas, they will not receive the corresponding benefits from their research. In fact, if they enter a low-level lab, they may get a negative impression that 'research is nothing special,' which could lead them to avoid engaging in meaningful research or work for the rest of their lives. Those in management positions should be mindful of this, as they are responsible for guiding students in their life plans, having received official endorsements to do so. If not, choosing a research lab can become a gamble. Even if students pay the same tuition fees, they may end up leading completely different lives until death. Therefore, university faculty and senior researchers at institutes must be individuals who have done or are doing research that no one else can.

THERS Make New Standards Program for the Next Generation Researchers (hereinafter referred to as the “Program”) aims to develop doctoral human resources who will contribute to future society in various ways, such as taking leading roles in a knowledge-based society or resolving the issues facing the world and Japan. #phd students are already at the forefront of research and supporting the foundation for research at the University. The Program will provide #financialsupport to such excellent students and thereby provide them with an environment in which they can devote themselves to their research. In addition, by providing various activities to help them acquire the skills required by companies, etc., and by providing opportunities to interact with graduates of Leading graduate schools and WISE program graduates who serve as role models, the Program seeks to dispel anxiety about employment, etc., and encourage participants to contribute to society by designing their own careers. What’s more, by interacting with PhD students with different specialties, overseas researchers, mentors with different values, etc., the participants will gain a multi-faceted perspective, expand their human networks, and encourage the development of new research based on original ideas and creation and progress of interdisciplinary research. The students selected for this Program are to be called “#RESEARDENTs” (RESEARcher + stuDENT) because they are both students and researchers. RESEARDENTs are expected to have the humble attitude of a student toward learning, while also possessing a sense of awareness and pride as a professional researcher. There are also doctoral programs such as the WISE Program (in principle, a five-year integrated program that integrates master and doctoral programs) that conform to the above objectives. Experience of such programs will be established as one of the assessment criteria for the Program, and selection will be carried out accordingly. SPRING (Support for Pioneering Research Initiated by the Next Generationt) for “Japan Science and Technology Agency” and Nagoya University (THERS) jointly implement this system.

Innovation & Smart Solutions; Founder & CEO, iQneiform | Water Management & Circular Economy; PostDoctoral Researcher, University of Helsinki | Etelä-Savo, Finland & Silicon Valley, USA
Professor Mika Sillanpää under investigation The former professor of LUT University has been subjected to extraordinary criminal suspicions, which he denies. Sources also tell MOT about harassment and mental abuse. After consulting the women, the university quickly terminated the professor's employment. The justification was a lack of trust that had arisen from abuse of a superior position, financial abuse and violation of disability regulations. The suspicion was startling, because Sillanpää was a respected expert in the chemistry of water purification, whose name graced the list of the world's most cited researchers in 2017–2021. Yle's MOT editorial mentions the professor's name, because he has exercised significant power in his work and has been widely exposed in the public eye. The criminal suspicions against Sillanpää are exceptional in the university world. Sillanpää denies the suspicions. Professor Mika Sillanpää arrived in Mikkeli in 2003, when the University of Kuopio established an applied environmental chemistry laboratory in the city. Graduate students from different parts of the world came to Sillanpää's laboratory, and the articles written by the research team garnered citations from other researchers. However, according to MOT's interviewees, there were significant atmosphere problems in the laboratory, which were caused, among other things, by the treatment of graduate students from outside Europe. They received a work-based residence permit in Finland, which was tied to the duration of the employment relationship. The employment relationship, on the other hand, depended on grants, which had to be applied for regularly. The end of the funding could also have led to the end of the residence permit. According to MOT's interviewees, the professor took advantage of the situation. He had a lot of influence on which projects received further funding. Mika Sillanpää hasn't found a new job in Finland. He currently works as a professor at Aarhus University in Denmark. #yle #finland #aarhus #lutuniversity #phdstudent #phdposition #phdopportunity #phdresearch #water #watermanagement #watertreatment #waterinnovation https://lnkd.in/dWJmyXGP

The United Nations’ World #ScienceDay for Peace and Development highlights the fact that science is key to understanding the world around us and that there is a need to engage the wider public in debates on emerging scientific issues. LERU member universities play an important role in this, not only by making research results open to the public, but also by engaging with society and creating societal added value.

Senior Research Fellow at the Clingendael Institute; Senior Research Fellow at LeidenAsiaCentre; China consultant for government & EU organizations.
Our research report on China Scholarship Council (CSC) Students in The Netherlands is out! We found that the Netherlands is the 4th largest host of CSC sponsored students and researchers worldwide. This reflects the importance of China as a research and innovation (R&I) partner for Dutch knowledge institutions and of the Dutch academic eco-system for China. The majority of the almost 2,200 CSC sponsored students in the Netherlands conduct research in the fields of #engineering, #technology, and #natural_sciences, including #biology, and #agricultural_technology. This collaboration involves both benefits and risks, including a few cases of (potential) dependency of Dutch academic institutions on CSC. Read more about our findings and our recommendations to the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science in the China Knowledge Network and The Clingendael Institute report by Ingrid dHooghe 高英丽 and Xiaoxue Martin: https://lnkd.in/dWx2NRfD
