JNU reached record highs in both the number of approved projects and the total funds received in the list of projects known as the Climbing Plan special fund, approved by the 2020 Guangdong Provincial Special Fund for Science and Technology Innovation Strategy and released by China Communist Youth League Committee of Guangdong. JNU has had 24 science and technology innovation projects approved, including nine key projects, and received 645,000 yuan from the special fund.
I am very delighted, said Tan Lihui, student leader of a JNU project in the College of Chemistry and Materials Science Class 2018. The financial support has opened up more possibilities for our project and relieved our burden on the research. Her team's project, Product Development of Chitin Functional Dressing for Hemostasis and Repair, was recently approved as a key project of the 2020 Climbing Plan, with a grant of 60,000 yuan.
