Awarding Fellowships on significant occasions helps showcase the remarkable achievements and academic authority of the recipients, enhances the influence and reputation of the academic institution, inspires future scholars to pursue excellence, and fosters broader societal appreciation and support for academic research.
Afterwards, a dinner was held at the hotel to both celebrate the conclusion of the 9th Global China Dialogue and award new GCA fellowships, as well as to provide an opportunity for absent speakers to share their views on the theme of GCD9: Global Governance for AI.
