In addition, 6 worldleading scientists in high-pressure research were invited to give lectures from high-pressure physics and materials to Earth and planetary sciences. The lectures provided broad introduction to the high-pressure research field with in-depth insights from each scientist. The program also included some introductive high-pressure experiments to participate and gained hand-on experience in high-pressure research.
The purpose of Summer School was to lead the campers walk into the wonderful world of high-pressure science and stimulate their interests in science and exploration.At the same time, it ccould enhance and expand HPSTAR's celebity and influence in domestic universities,and it ccould also select the outstanding students for the high-pressure science.
The main content of the high-pressure science camp activities included lectures , international frontier reports , lab visits and laboratory practice ,as well as students interviews, parties , etc. It can encourage students to promote friendship in the camp and the mutual exchange of learning .
