Abstract

This presentation explores the evolving landscape of direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales in regenerative medicine (RM), tracing its development across three distinct waves. The first wave, often described as stem cell tourism, involved patients traveling abroad to access unproven and loosely regulated stem cell interventions. This presentation will introduce a third wave, examine the socio-technical and commercial drivers behind its growth, and critically analyze the legal and ethical challenges it raises, including concerns around safety, efficacy, informed consent, consumer protection, and regulatory gaps.

All information will be simultaneously released on IAS social media platforms.

Event Summary

活動摘要

4月14日，高研院跨學科派對第八期在崇文樓大堂成功舉辦，新東方創始人、新東方教育科技集團董事長俞敏洪作為主講嘉賓，與主持人人文學院歷史系講座教授、高研院副院長王笛教授展開深度對話。活動圍繞個人成長、職業發展、教育變革等話題，為現場觀眾帶來一場思想派對。

俞敏洪結合自身經歷，分享了平衡企業經營與學術研究的經驗。他坦言，高效利用時間、專注閱讀及調整運動是關鍵。在北大任教期間，他以學者心態深耕學術；管理新東方後，他通過高效時間規劃，將閱讀與運動融入生活，實現角色平衡。他強調，“將讀書和運動變為生活方式”是持續成長的核心。

針對當前經濟環境下的青年就業壓力，俞敏洪鼓勵年輕人保持進取心，嘗試靈活就業與抓住創業機會。他指出，中國經濟活力仍為個體提供廣闊空間，建議青年積極提升技能、探索新興領域，並借助當前互聯網等平臺增强競爭力。同時，他呼籲政府與企業協同創造就業機會，提振社會信心。

在AI技術迅猛發展的背景下，俞敏洪認為語言能力與創新思維是不可替代的核心競爭力。他提出，教育應轉向培養批判性思維和跨學科融合能力，而非單純知識灌輸。文科教育需強化創意與實踐，助力學生應對未來挑戰。

面對學生群體對職業前景的焦慮，俞敏洪建議文科生以創意賦能專業，將人文素養轉化為實際價值。他鼓勵以人文思維直面挑戰，在不確定性中探尋突破與創新的可能。問答環節中，俞敏洪就創業資源、文化傳播等話題展開探討，強調平衡現實與激情的重要性。他分享新東方助力青年成長的具體舉措，包括提供培訓、支持創新等，引發觀眾共鳴。

本次活動反響熱烈，俞敏洪老師的幽默表達與務實見解為參與者注入新思考。高研院跨學科派對持續搭建跨界對話平臺，促進學者、社會成功人士與青年之間的深度交流，共同探索未來的多元可能。

Event Summary

On April 14, the 8^th session of the “IAS X Interdisciplinary Academic Party,” organised by the IAS, was successfully held in the lobby of the Cultural Building. Minhong Yu, founder and chairman of New Oriental Education and Technology Group, served as the speaker, engaging in an in-depth dialogue with the host Professor Di Wang, Chair Professor of the Department of History of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities and Associate Director of IAS. The event focused on personal growth, career development, and educational transformation, delivering an intellectual party to the on-site audience.

Minhong Yu shared his experience of balancing business management and academic research by drawing on his personal journey. He noted that key strategies included efficiently utilising time, maintaining focus on reading, and regularly exercising. During his journey as a scholar at Peking University, he dedicated himself to academia with a scholarly mindset. After taking charge of New Oriental, he achieved the balance between work and life through effective time management by integrating reading and exercise into daily life. He emphasised that incorporating reading and exercise into our lifestyle is essential for personal growth.

Addressing the employment pressure faced by young people in the current economic environment, Yu encouraged them to maintain ambition and seize opportunities in flexible employment and entrepreneurship. He pointed out that China’s economy still provides space for individuals, encouraging young people to actively enhance skills, explore emerging fields, and improve competitiveness through platforms like the internet. He also called for collaboration between the government and enterprises to create more job opportunities and to restore social confidence.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, Yu highlighted that language proficiency and innovative thinking remain irreplaceable core competencies. He proposed that education should shift toward cultivating critical thinking and interdisciplinary integration capabilities, moving beyond robotic knowledge. Liberal arts education, he argued, should strengthen creativity and practical application to help students tackle future challenges.

In response to students’ anxieties about career prospects, he suggested that liberal arts students should empower their majors with creativity, transforming humanistic literacy into practical value. He encouraged students to confront challenges with humanistic thinking and to seek breakthroughs and innovations in uncertainty.

During the Q&A session, Yu discussed entrepreneurial resources and cultural communication, stressing the importance of balancing reality with passion. He shared specific initiatives by New Oriental to support youth development, including providing training opportunities and promoting innovation, which resonated with the audience.

Yu shared pragmatic insights and perspectives with his humorous delivery, which received enthusiastic feedback. The IAS Interdisciplinary Academic Party continues to build a cross-border dialogue platform, fostering meaningful exchange among scholars, public figures, and young people as they explore pathways for future development together.
