The memorandum of understanding stipulates that the scope of the collaborative projects includes but not limited to health prognostics and management of mechanical components, health prognostics and diagnostics of energy storage systems, and physics-of-failure modeling. Based on the MOU, both parties hope to develop mutually beneficial long-term collaboration and exchange.
Within the next five years, the two sides will cooperate in launching a number of scientific and technological projects in materials science, manufacturing technology, and component technology.
At the forum, many alumni showed great interest in establishing a formal JI Alumni Association. They suggested setting up branches based on regions and professions. They planned to organize activities to connect the alumni and provide information for late comers.
