A 10-member delegation led by MA Fang, Chairman of Harbin Bearing Co., Ltd., and LUO Zhigang, Deputy General Manager of the company, paid a research visit to Harbin Engineering University (HEU) on 4 November. The two sides held a symposium focusing on scientific research cooperation, talent cultivation and platform development. SONG Yingdong, Party Secretary of the HEU, attended the meeting, which was chaired by CHEN Hailong, Assistant to the President.
SONG Yingdong extended a warm welcome to the delegation. He noted that as one of the three major production bases in China’s bearing industry, Harbin Bearing Co., Ltd. has made significant contributions to the country’s aerospace sector. He expressed hope that the two sides would establish a regular exchange mechanism, strengthen in-depth cooperation, integrate the university’s disciplinary strengths with industrial application demands, and focus on areas such as aerospace power, intelligent inspection and surface strengthening to carry out joint research on key technologies, collaborative talent training and major project planning, making new and greater contributions to national development.
MA Fang stated that Harbin Bearing Co., Ltd. shoulders the mission of independent research, development and manufacturing of aero-engine bearings. HEU, with its distinctive strengths in the SMON fields and outstanding advantages in talent training and basic research, shares aligned missions and complementary strengths with the company, creating broad space for cooperation. MA expressed hope that both sides would take this visit as an opportunity to deepen university-enterprise collaborative innovation, improve the joint talent training mechanism, increase talent recruitment from the university, and accelerate the commercialisation of scientific and technological achievements, contributing to fostering new quality productive forces and supporting high-level scientific and technological development.
Relevant officials from the company’s aero-engine bearing technology innovation centre introduced the overall profile of the enterprise. Representatives from the HEU Office of Scientific Research presented an overview of the university and reported on its scientific research achievements, while officials from the College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering briefed the delegation on the university’s research progress in the bearing field. The two sides held in-depth discussions on priority areas for scientific research cooperation, joint talent training and joint research on major projects.
