International Conference
With the wide application of new energy, especially in the fields of electric vehicles, smart devices and renewable energy storage, the safety and reliability of batteries have become key issues. From October 23rd to 25th, the SAE 2025 International Conference on Battery Safety and Reliability was held in Shanghai. The conference is hosted by East China University of Science and Technology, co-organized by the Key Laboratory of Advanced Battery Systems and Safety for Petroleum and Chemical Industry, and academically supported by SAE International. Centering on the theme of Safety and Reliability throughout the Battery Life Cycle, nearly 500 experts, scholars and engineers from universities, research institutes and industrial chain enterprises around the world gathered together, focusing on cutting-edge topics such as safety design, risk prevention and control, standard coordination and data-driven, sharing the latest research results and practical experiences. Not only has it enhanced China's international influence in the field of battery safety and reliability, but it has also injected new impetus into building a safer, more reliable and sustainable electric future. Our school's principal, Xuan Fuzhen, attended the meeting and delivered a speech. Vice Principal Li Tao also attended the meeting and delivered a speech. Professor Luan Weiling from the School of Mechanical Engineering, the executive chairperson of the conference, presided over the opening ceremony.
Exchange visit
From October 24th to 25th, the 3rd National Symposium on Microsample Mechanical Testing Methods and the First China Mechanical Testing Instrument and Equipment Innovation Exchange Conference were held by the Fuchun River in Tonglu, Zhejiang Province. This conference attracted nearly 300 representatives from 87 units across the country, including academicians, experts, scholars, postgraduate students, and mechanical instrument equipment enterprises. They gathered together to have in-depth exchanges on the theories, technologies, methods, standards in the field of non-destructive, micro-damage, and micro-sample mechanical testing, as well as the innovative progress and future development trends of advanced mechanical testing instruments and equipment.
