On October 10, a delegation led by Chen Xingqiu from the Institute of Metal Research (IMR), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), visited the School of Materials Science and Engineering (hereinafter referred to as “the School”) at Peking University. The exchange meeting was held in Room 137 of the Comprehensive Research Building. Zhang Jing and Guo Shaojun from the School warmly welcomed the delegation, and engaged in discussions on further deepening institutional collaboration and talent recruitment. Over 30 participants attended, including Zhou Yizhou, Executive Deputy Director of the Shi Changxu Advanced Materials Innovation Center and Head of an Innovation Team at IMR; Liu Hongyang, Head of an Innovation Team at IMR; as well as faculty members, postdoctoral researchers, and students from the School.
