The Symposium on Emerging Technology of Transportation Electrification was established in 2017 as a premier academic conference jointly initiated by Tsinghua University and CRRC Zhuzhou Institute. Designed to address scientific challenges and key technologies in transportation electrification through keynote presentations and thematic discussions, the Symposium serves as an industry-academia-research collaboration platform for Chinese universities, research institutions, and industrial enterprises.
The Symposium was successfully convened thanks to the tireless dedication of the leadership, faculty, and students at YSU School of Electrical Engineering. Their professional, considerate, and attentive services spanning conference reception, event management, and technical support earned high praise from the attending participants. Their actions have fully demonstrated the sense of responsibility and cohesive spirit inherent in the YSU community and the School of Electrical Engineering. Before an assembly of distinguished scholars and experts from China and abroad, they vividly showcased YSU's remarkable achievements and profound culture, thereby contributing distinctive "YSU strength" to advance academic exchanges and industrial development in the field of transportation electrification.
