The China-Russia Symposium on Advanced Materials and Technologies was held at Harbin Institute of Technology(HIT) from Oct 12 to 15.
Hosted by HIT's School of Materials Science and Engineering, the event brought nine Russian university delegations to China, including Pacific National University, Saint Petersburg State University, and Bauman Moscow State Technical University, and focused on cutting-edge research directions, building an in-depth academic exchange platform for Chinese and Russian universities.
Professor Song Xiaoguo, dean of the School of Materials Science and Engineering, delivered a welcome address at the opening ceremony, extending a warm welcome to the Russian expert delegation and reviewing the long-standing and stable cooperation between the School of Materials Science and Engineering of HIT and multiple Russian universities.
Professor A. Abuzov, dean of the Faculty of Engineering at Pacific National University of Russia, spoke on behalf of the Russian delegation. He praised the scientific research achievements built through years of bilateral cooperation and expressed expectations for further deepening joint talent training and collaborative scientific research projects.
The symposium featured plenary keynote lectures, parallel forum invited reports, and closed-door seminars. Presentations covered multiple research areas, including mechanical behavior of materials, advanced material processing, and resource recycling. Participating experts held in-depth discussions on key scientific issues, exchanged research ideas, and explored potential cooperation opportunities. A total of 32 Russian experts engaged in face-to-face exchanges with Chinese teachers and students, presenting the latest research progress from both sides.
Participants noted that China and Russia each possess distinctive strengths in advanced-materials research. Sustained bilateral academic exchanges help drive coordinated advances in fundamental research innovation and engineering-technology development.
The School of Materials Science and Engineering at HIT will maintain regular communication with partner universities in Russia, expand the scope and depth of cooperation, boost the international development of academic disciplines, and contribute to overall Sino-Russian scientific and technological cooperation.
