BIT–A*STAR Joint Graduate Training Base for Smart Materials Design and Development
Comprehensive Reform Project for Graduate Education and Training, Beijing Institute of Technology (Project Implementer)
The joint graduate training base focuses on AI-enabled materials design and advanced thermal management, addressing strategic needs in advanced materials, artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, and carbon neutrality. It establishes a joint training framework that integrates values-oriented education, coordinated dual-supervisor mentoring, project-based research to tackle key challenges, international practical training, and management throughout the training process. By engaging graduate students in real-world research projects and international collaboration, the base aims to enhance their capacity for innovation, practical skills, and global competence.
