Vice-Rector for Science and Innovation Zsolt Radák spoke in front of 150,000 people

At the 4th International Forum on Sport Science held in Chengdu, China, 150,000 participants listened to the speakers online, including Professor Zsolt Radák, Vice-Rector for Science and Innovation of the Hungarian University of Sports Science (TF).

On 24 and 25 October, the 4th International Forum on Sport Science was held in Chengdu, China, the venue of last year's World University Games, with presentations mainly by members of the editorial board of the local sports university's scientific journal, Sport Medicine and Health Science (SMHS). The event was followed by 150 000 participants in virtual space, perhaps the largest audience ever.

On the closing day of the event, the SMHS editorial board meeting was held, which was of course attended by Professor Zsolt Radák, Vice-Rector for Science and Innovation of the Hungarian University of Sports Science, Director of the Research Centre for Molecular Exercise Science, one of the deputy editors-in-chief of the journal.

The science journal, which is booming in China, was launched three years ago, and received its first impact factor of 2.5 this year and it is set to have four impact factors next year. All the members of the editorial board are renowned researchers, and six or seven of them, including Zsolt Radák, are in the top two per cent of the world's most cited scientists.

On 26 October Zsolt Radák held a keynote lecture at the University of Sichuan, which ranked among the top ten universities in China. The Chinese side is keen to develop its sports science education and plans to establish its own doctoral school in cooperation with TF.

"In terms of higher education, China is one of, if not the biggest market from which we could attract relatively qualified students, not only for our Doctoral School, but also for our bachelor and master programmes. The international conference, which was attended with me by two TF PhD students from China, had a very strong national and international resonance, and TF successfully presented itself to the audience. After the event, two Chinese students indicated that they would like to come to study at TF's Doctoral School, and after my presentation at the University of Sichuan, a Chinese PhD student said that he would like to continue his studies with us. China is developing at an astonishing pace, and the services and sports infrastructure at the University of Sichuan are impressive. Like us, the country is still in the early stages of developing sports science, so I think that the cooperation between the two countries and between the TF as well as Chinese universities can only be beneficial. The Chinese are showing a keen interest in Hungary, it would be a pity to let this opportunity go to waste," said Zsolt Radák.
