12 students and 3 staff members from the Department of Food Science and Nutrition (FSN) recently participated in an enriching study trip to Hangzhou, where they met with over 20 faculty members and students from Zhejiang University (ZJU).
The trip offered a wonderful balance of academic exchange and cultural exploration. Key highlights included:
- Academic & Scientific Exchange: Engaging in interactive discussions with ZJU peers and touring advanced university laboratories where students gained firsthand insights into cutting-edge technologies.
- Industrial & Research Insights: Visiting a research centre under Nongfu Spring, Hangzhou Wahaha Group and Master Kong Flavor Pavilion to learn more about the operational scales, latest trends, and inner workings of the food industry.
- Cultural Exploration: Visiting local museums and exploring the world-renowned West Lake (Xihu).
Overall, it was a highly fruitful and memorable experience that successfully broadened our students' academic horizons and deepened their understanding of modern science.
