We have established a powerful training system to provide our members with targeted and differentiated training programs that fully meet the self-development needs of young science professionals, such as the Orientation Program for newcomers, the Zhejiang Lab Symposium, which allows face-to-face communication with top scholars, the Zhejiang Lab Seminar, which encourages internal academic exchange, and internal socializing activities such as Coffee Time and Office Hour.
Training Programs
The Orientation Program is designed by Zhejiang Lab based on the growth and development needs of new members, aiming to help new members integrate into the Lab's culture, learn about the Lab, and improve their basic job skills. It is the small-class, full-time induction training delivered via main learning forms such as offline face-to-face training, practical training interaction, exchange and discussion, etc.

The St. Petersburg State University of Information Technology Mechanics and Optics (ITMO) is one of Russia’s leading engineering schools. Founded in 1900, the university enjoys an extraordinary worldwide reputation in fields such as information science and technology, precision machinery, and optics. A large number of America's current optics professionals come from this university. From September 15 to 27, 2019, five members from our Research Center for Smart Sensing and other research units attended the Intensive Photonics and Optics Training Course at ITMO.
