Prelude · A First Glimpse of SLAI

On September 10,

new students from 37 partner universities

across the Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, and Macao arrived at SLAI

with dreams and curiosity.

For them, this would become a brand-new starting point,

a fertile ground for AI and scientific innovation.

The future chapters are quietly unfolding from this very moment.

Student Chapter: Campus Exploration

Morning of September 11

The new student orientation began in the morning light.

SLAI's support systems, learning resources, and pathways for growth

unveiled step by step...

For the very first time, students stepped into this campus of exploration and challenge as members of SLAI.

As students wandered through every corner of the campus, the first set of core values that caught their eyes were SLAI's defining spirit:

Spark (Innovation)

Lead (Perseverance)

Audacity (Courage)

Inquiry (Truth-seeking)

This distinctive spirit

will accompany students as they embark on their future research journeys.
