Located at the backdrop of the mountains and enjoying a wide view of the lake, the Ningbo Academician Center sits at the southern foot of Taogong Mountain beside the scenic Dongqian Lake and is adjacent to the three historic villages of Taogong Village, Jianshe Village, and Limin Village.
Converted and expanded from the site of the former Ningbo Normal College, the Ningbo Academician Center connects the four main buildings with a long landscape corridor and forms a regional linkage with the historic villages and Taogong Island, integrating the intellectual platform with tourism and rural revitalization to create a space for sustainable future development.
Ningbo Academician Center is mainly committed to playing a role in tackling key technologies, promoting the transformation of achievements, serving decision-making and consulting, carrying out academic exchanges and cultivating innovative talents.
In the meantime, the Center is also set to connect with strategic emerging industries, serve industrial transformation, technological upgrading and innovative development, and strives to build an intellectual highland radiating the Yangtze River Delta and facing home and abroad.
