Academician Li Anmin of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Vice President You Jinsong and other relevant units of the university participate in the appointment ceremony.

On behalf of the university, You Jinsong expressed his welcome and thanks to Academician Claire Voisin and Academician Jean-Michel Coron, and briefly introduced the basic situation of the university. He pointed out that the university is currently accelerating the construction of world-class universities. He believes thathiring the two academicians as honorary professors of Sichuan University will strongly promote the construction of mathematics disciplines. He expects the two academicians to make full use of their profound knowledge, broad vision and deep insights into the field of mathematics to carry out research together with the teachers and students of Sichuan University and lift the mathematics discipline to a new level.

Academician Claire Voisin expressed her gratitude to the university for the kind invitation. She pointed out that she is looking forward to sharing and exchanging her academic achievements and research experience with the teachers and students of Sichuan University in the future, exploring the mysteries of mathematics together, and contributing more to the development of mathematics discipline.

Academician Jean-Michel Coron saidit was his pleasureto be an Honorary Professor of Sichuan University, which has a profound history in the subject area of mathematics. He hope that through the cooperation, we can promote exchanges between the two sides in the field of mathematics and jointly promote the progress of academic research.

Jinsong You awarded Honorary Professorships to Academicians Claire Voisin and Jean-Michel Coron.
