2022-09-28

On September 28, 2022, the signing ceremony for industry-university-research cooperation agreement between Shanghai Superconductor Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Shanghai Superconductor”) and Lanzhou University was held in Qilian Hall of Lanzhou University. Academician Zhou Youhe, Dean of School of Civil Engineering and Mechanics and Research Institute of Superconducting Mechanics at Lanzhou University, attended and delivered a speech. Cao Aihui (Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Lanzhou University), Wang Chaoping (Dean of the Scientific Research Institute of Lanzhou University), Professor Huang Ning (Dean of the School of Civil Engineering and Mechanics at Lanzhou University), Li Xiaoli (Secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Civil Engineering and Mechanics), Professor Wang Shengzhe (Vice Dean of the School of Civil Engineering and Mechanics), Ma Tao (Chairman and Legal Representative of Shanghai Superconductor), Hong Zhiyong (Executive Director), and President Zhu Jiamin attended the signing ceremony.


Two sides signed strategic cooperation agreement

At the signing ceremony, Executive Director Hong Zhiyong introduced the current status and future development of Shanghai Superconductor. At present, Shanghai Superconductor has become a world-class and domestic leading supplier of second-generation high-temperature superconducting materials. It is also the superconductor material supplier for several major superconducting demonstration projects in China and small-scale nuclear fusion projects abroad. High-composite talents and technological breakthroughs are required in terms of product performance and key technologies. Prof. Wang Shengzhe introduced the recent development of the Superconducting Electromagnetic Solid Mechanics Laboratory.

Subsequently, President Zhu Jiamin and Dean of Research Institute Wang Chaoping signed the contract on behalf of both sides. Two sides will carry out comprehensive cooperation in the preparation process of second-generation high-temperature superconductor materials, mechanical properties improvement, comprehensive characterization of multi-field properties, and development of high temperature superconducting magnets so as to leverage their respective advantages and promote deep integration of industry, university, research and application.
