Symposium | 群策群力，共创未来

为进一步推动学校发展，8月10日至11日，广东以色列理工学院召开学校发展研讨会。校长龚新高，常务副校长David Gershoni，副校长林丹明，副校长兼总干事Eran Gal-Or，教师代表以及行政部门负责人参加了本次会议。

本次会议创新采用“报告+讨论”的形式，最大程度地发挥每位参会者的主观能动性，群策群力，集思广益，服务学校发展大局。会上，多个行政部门对各自的职能分工、工作目标和进展进行汇报，并和与会者们展开深入交流和探讨。

本次研讨会为各部门与校领导之间提供了一个高效的沟通平台，直观展示了每个部门的工作，更有针对性地为部门工作中所遇到的挑战寻找解决方案。

作为一所年轻的中外合作大学，广以有着巨大的发展潜力。今年4月，学校迎来粤东西北地区高校首位院士校长、中科院院士龚新高；随后，以色列理工学院资深教授、原以色列科学基金会精准科学部主任David Gershoni加入广以，担任常务副校长；以色列理工学院原常务副校长Wayne D. Kaplan教授担任学术副校长，学校领导层面貌焕然一新，各项工作呈现良好的发展势头。2021年7月，学校首届本科生毕业，其中约90%的学生选择继续升学，主要以全球知名理工科院校作为深造目的地。在收到的录取通知书中，世界排名前100的大学超过80%，学校人才培养初见成效。

据了解，未来学校还将继续召开专题讨论会，围绕教学、科研、人才培养、招生等各个方面，进一步加强职能部门间的沟通交流，加强工作统筹，提高工作效率，加快推进建设高水平理工科中外合作大学。

From August 10th to 11th, Guangdong Technion-Israel Institute of Technology held a-two-day Brainstorming Symposium with the theme of Promoting and Development of GTIIT. Prof. Gong Xingao, Chancellor of GTIIT; Prof, David Gershoni, Vice Chancellor of GTIIT; Prof. Lin Danming, Pro-Vice Chancellor of GTIIT; Mr. Eran Gal-Or, Pro-Vice Chancellor and Director General of GTIIT; representatives of faculty and directors ofadministrative departments attended the symposium.

The symposium adopted a procedure of "presentation + discussion" to maximize interactions of the participants for working together to solve problems encountered in administrative works. Administrative departments reported on their respective functions, objectives and progress, followed by discussions among the participants.

The symposium provides an efficient communication platform between various departments and university leaders, visually demonstrated each department's daily work, and proposed solutions for the challenges encountered.

As a young Sino-foreign cooperative university, GTIIT has great potential for development. In April, Prof. Gong Xingao joined GTIIT as the first “Academician Chancellor” of a university in the east, west and north of Guangdong; subsequently, Prof.David Gershoni, a renowned professor of the Technion and former director of thePrecision Science Department of the Israel Science Foundation,joined GTIIT as the Vice Chancellor; meanwhile, Prof. Wayne D.Kaplan, former Executive Vice President of the Technion, also joined GTIITas Pro-Vice Chancellor for academic affairs. Since then, GTIIT has entered a new period of development. In July, the first cohort of undergraduate students graduated from GTIIT. 90% of them were admitted for overseas postgraduate studies. Among these students, more than 80% of them received offers from the top 100 universities in the world.

GTIIT will hold similar symposium around themes related to education, research, talent training, admission, etc., to further strengthen communications among academic programs and administrative departments, and improve coordination and efficiency of the University, with the overall aim of accelerating the development of a research university of science and engineering.
