Nobel physicist Giorgio Parisi takes up complexity sciences post in China
Italian theoretical physicist and Nobel laureate Giorgio Parisi has taken up a senior position at a university in eastern China as the country strives to attract established scientists for top-tier research. The winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize for physics has moved from Rome to be a discipline leader at an international research centre for complexity sciences at Beihang University's Hangzhou campus in Zhejiang province. According to a university social media post, Beihang Communist Party secretary Zhao Changlu said he hoped Parisi would recommend more top researchers to join the university and help make it more international. Parisi said he would endeavour to 'promote more scientific cooperation between Beihang University and Italy, as well as with the rest of Europe', according to the post. The Hangzhou Innovation Research Institute, where Parisi will be based, is a joint project between the Zhejiang government and Beihang University, a training ground in Beijing for China's aerospace industry. The institute was officially opened in March 2023 and aims to become 'an international education and academic collaboration platform'. It has 20 research centres and is recruiting staff from China and abroad to join them.
