Since that time, YSU and Sino-Heavymach have fostered extensive cooperation in independent innovation, talent cultivation and industry-education integration, during which the two sides developedprofoundfriendship. Zhang expressed that this time they came for three purposes: first, to observe the latest directionsand achievements of YSU scientific research;second, to express thanks to YSU for cultivating talents for Sino-Heavymach for many years; and, third, to establish a better and deeper cooperation mechanism with the YSU to complement each other’s advantages and to achieve win-win cooperation.
At the symposium, the two sides also conducted in-depth discussions, according to their owncondition, on how to use high-tech and deep-level cooperation in technological innovation, project traction, talent exchange and platform support.
After the symposium, Zhang Jiang’an and his delegation visited the National Engineering Research Center forEquipment and Technology of Cold Strip Rolling, and the National and Local Joint Engineering Research Center for Advanced Manufacture Forming Technology and Equipment, and exchanged views on the scientific research being jointly carried out by the two sides.
China National Heavy Machinery Research Institute Co., Ltd. (SINO-HEAVYMACH for short) was founded in Beijing in 1956; in 1961, it was moved to Xi’an, called Xi’an Heavy Machinery Research Institute, as the member of State Ministry of Machinery Industry; in 1999, it was fully owned by China National Machinery Industry Corporation after turning into a science and technology enterprise; in 2006, the corporation was renamed as China National Heavy Machinery Research Institute, at its 50th anniversary; and in 2012, it was restructured into China National Heavy Machinery Research Institute Co., Ltd., approved by State Council. Sino-Heavymach is now an innovative high-tech enterprise for the technology research and development, design and process engineering of integrated equipment of China’s metallurgy, heavy equipment manufacturing and other industries.
