IChemC hold discussions with Chinese Universities to provide Graduate Education to its students
View(s):A delegation from China visited Institute of Chemistry Ceylon (IChemC), to discuss about graduate educational opportunities for its students.
This opportunity comes as part of the Belt and Road Initiative between Sri Lanka and China, which is establishing a joint scientific laboratory that focuses its research on three key areas. These consist of accurate pesticide reduction based on big data, biological control technology for insect pests and weed infestations in tea gardens, and risk monitoring and control technology aimed at tea pesticide residue. It is learnt that through these efforts, the laboratory aims to set up an efficient, environmentally friendly, safe, and controllable system for green prevention and control in tea cultivation. Green prevention and control refer to the practice of preventing and controlling pests, diseases, and weeds by utilizing biological, ecological, and sustainable techniques instead of chemical pesticides, aiming to protect the ecosystem and human health while promoting agricultural sustainability. The laboratory is jointly established by the Guizhou University, the University of Peradeniya, the Central China Normal University and Sri Lanka Tea Research Institute.
The delegation included Professor W.M.W.W. Kandegama and Professor Libo Zhang from Guizhou University, Professor Xialei Zhu and Professor Qiongyou Wu from Central China Normal University, and Associate Professor Ming-Zhi Zhang from Nanjing Agriculture University, Collage of Sciences.
All the members are part of the State Key laboratory of green pesticide, National Belt and Road Joint Laboratory. The delegation is ready to offer up to 60 graduate (Masters and PhD) opportunities to the students. Prof. Chandani Perera, the Dean of the College and several other academics represented IChemC in these discussions, which will greatly benefit the students who are interested in pursuing further studies in overseas, exposing them to high-tech instruments and laboratory facilities in China.
