THE Shenzhen International Talent Exchange Center was inaugurated Sept. 26, 2017 in Bao’an Talent Park with the mission to undertake the Conference on International Exchange of Professionals (CIEP). Jointly set up by the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs Information Center, the China International Talent Exchange Center, the Shenzhen Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, and the Bao’an District Government, the center is designed to serve as a go-between for foreign talents and their recruiters within and outside of China. The new establishment’s mission also includes organizing international talent meetings and trainings, conducting foreign talent authentication, recruiting high-level overseas talents, building information databases on high-end foreign and returned overseas Chinese talents, and holding job fairs in foreign countries for attracting professionals to work in Shenzhen. Currently, there are over 3,000 expats working in Bao’an, including nine experts under the country’s Recruitment Program of Global Experts and 95 talents under the city’s “Peacock Program.” The Shiyan Lake International Academician Village was launched in Bao’an in May last year, aiming at bringing renowned academicians from across the globe to Shenzhen. Roger Kornberg, a Nobel laureate, was appointed chief scientist of the village. Kornberg is a U.S. biochemist and professor of structural biology at Stanford University School of Medicine. Kornberg was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2006 for his studies on the process by which genetic information from DNA is copied to RNA, “the molecular basis of eukaryotic transcription.”(SD News) |
