Nternational Cooperation  

THTI has commenced a strategic partnership for collaborative innovation with Deutsche Bahn Systemtechnik GmbH  

On June 15, 2016, Tianjin Research Institute for Advanced Equipment, Tsinghua University (hereinafter referred to as “THTI”) and Deutsche Bahn Systemtechnik GmbH (hereinafter referred to as "DB Systemtechnik") signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The two parties will engage in collaborative innovation, conducting scientific research and promoting research outcomes in the area of wheel-rail relationships and maintenance on the platform of THTI 's Wheel-Rail Relationship and Maintenance Research Center, working together towards a bright future for industrial intelligence.  

He Yongyong and Mr. Samjatin jointly sign the cooperation agreement

In early June 2016, Feng Quanbao, Executive Deputy Director of the Wheel-Rail Relationship Center, visited DB Systemtechnik to investigate the technological methods and research outcomes in the field of wheel-rail relationships and maintenance. On June 15, 2016, Mr. Samjatin, the Executive Director of International Business at DB Systemtechnik, visited THTI to engage in discussions with relevant leaders from both the institute and the Wheel-Rail Relationship Center, culminating in a cooperation signing ceremony. The parties will collaborate comprehensively in the field of wheel-rail relationships and maintenance. THTI focuses on the implementation and promotion of maintenance solutions for wheel-rail systems, which can provide integrated solutions for the industrialization of cutting-edge technologies. DB Systemtechnik is a leading research institution globally in wheel-rail relationship studies, and this collaborative innovation partnership will offer a broad platform and development space for international cooperation in wheel-rail research.

The Tsinghua University - RWTH Aachen University High-End Equipment Innovation Cooperation Design and Manufacturing International Joint Laboratory.

THTI 's Additive Manufacturing Technology and Engineering Research Institute has entered into a cooperation agreement with the Belgian Materialise software company. The Belgian Materialise software company and THTI have collectively signed a binding contract for the three-dimensional data processing software Magics, with specific technical responsibilities residing with the Additive Manufacturing Technology and Engineering Research Institute.

THTI and the Swedish delegation have signed a cooperation memorandum

The signatory parties of the quadripartite cooperation memorandum include THTI, SKB International, the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden, and the NOVA/Oscarhamn port city community. The signing of this memorandum represents a significant achievement in the collaboration on radioactive waste disposal, marking a new phase in the partnership and providing a solid foundation for subsequent alignment and the signing of formal agreements. Furthermore, THTI has appointed Professor Waclaw Gudowski from the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden as an expert advisor.

SKB is a state-owned company in Sweden, possessing advanced technologies for "spent fuel geological storage" and "intermediate and low-level waste storage." In order to fulfill their obligations concerning nuclear waste management, all Swedish nuclear power companies have united to establish the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB). This company is responsible not only for managing existing waste facilities but also for research and development in waste management. SKB operates several active waste facilities, including the Central Interim Storage Facility for Spent Nuclear Fuel (CLAB), located near the Oskarshamn nuclear power plant, and the Low and Intermediate Level Waste Repository (SFR), situated close to the Forsmark nuclear power plant. The company also utilizes specialized vessels for the transportation of radioactive waste, such as the Sigyn. Additionally, a 3.6-kilometer long tunnel has been excavated 450 meters deep into the Aspo underground, intended as a hard rock laboratory, with participation from multiple countries in its development and research. SKB International is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SKB, primarily focused on providing international services based on SKB's plans. The Royal Institute of Technology is one of Sweden's largest engineering universities, contributing nearly one-third of the country's engineering and technology research. KTH is actively involved in joint research projects with renowned Chinese universities and co-manages joint centers with several institutions in China.
