Cheng Jin, Member of Standing Committee of University Board of XJTU: "XJTU is currently pursuing a strategy for integration of education and industries. Collaborations with UD, EANAN, SRJL through this MoU are a very important part of this strategy and will be mutually beneficial to all the parties involved. The establishment of the joint laboratory will certainly provide a great opportunity for academic and research staff to get insight into the related fields. The platform will serve as an important base for achieving remarkable progress in science, research and industries in the future. Moreover, it will act as an important link among our partners, as well as between China and the UAE, promoting cooperation and strengthening the friendship between the people in the two countries."
Dr Lei Li, Executive Director of SRJL: "As a high-energy R&D and industrial incubation platform based on international cooperation, the SRJL focuses on the research of key common technologies in material surface treatment and material body enhancement. The establishment of this joint laboratory signifies that we will engage in deeper cooperation in broader fields such as new materials, new energy equipment, and aircraft power systems. We will work together with a more pragmatic attitude and keen insight to overcome difficulties on the path of scientific research and pursue higher technological achievements."
In line with the collaboration, the University of Dubai will offer all on-site support and facilities required for the establishment of the laboratory while EANAN will be responsible for confirming its functionality. The MOU enables parties to send delegates to learn each other's educational system and curriculum design. Additionally, the agreement mandates that postdoctoral from all of the parties should fulfil the requirements set forth by the receiving party to be admitted to a degree-granting or non-degree-granting programme.
