"What? Someone wants to donate five billion to our school?" The president of Jiangnan University almost jumped up at the news, and even the old professors chatting with him had looks of fiery excitement in their eyes.
Every year, the government allocates a large amount of research funding to various universities. Jiangnan University is considered one of the top comprehensive universities in the country, and its annual research funding is less than five billion. This donation is almost equivalent to over a year's worth of research funding for the whole school!
What's most important for a university? Scientific research achievements! As the saying goes, "You can't make bricks without straw," and research funding is the lifeline of scientific research. To be blunt, research is essentially a money-consuming endeavor. Without money, even a group of academicians can't achieve much.
