Belt and Road Advanced Professional Development Programme provided online exchange workshop for industry professionals
The "Belt and Road Advanced Professional Development Programme in Power and Energy" (the Programme), organised for the fourth consecutive year by the Silk Road International School of Engineering (SRISE) in partnership with power corporations from Mainland China and Hong Kong, was successfully completed in November 2021. The theme for this year was "Decarbonising the Smart Grid for Sustainable Living". Over 250 participants from 25 countries/regions have registered in the workshop, learning about practical knowledge and experiences and latest international developments in design, technology and management in the power and energy field, as shared by veteran academics and professionals from the co-organisers,
Under the influence of COVID 19, the Programme has been held online in 2020 and 2021 well supported by over 400 participants in the field from the Belt and Road countries.
PolyU, XJTU, State Grid and HK Electric continue collaboration on the "Belt and Road Advanced Professional Development Programme in Power and Energy" to nurture senior talent for the energy industry
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU); Xi'an Jiaotong University (XJTU); State Grid Corporation of China (State Grid) and The Hongkong Electric Company, Limited (HK Electric) signed a Memorandum of Understanding in June 2021 to extend their joint collaboration in running the "Belt and Road Advanced Professional Development Programme in Power and Energy" (The Programme) for another three years.
The Programme aims to nurture senior management talent in power and energy-related fields through diversified, cross-regional, systematic and innovative training schemes to meet the rising demand for talent in the Belt and Road countries and regions, thereby promoting the sustainable development of infrastructure and facilitating economic growth in these countries and regions in line with the Belt and Road strategies of the Nation. This cross-regional and multi-cultural university-industry collaboration programme is the first-of-its-kind in both Mainland China and Hong Kong.
The Silk Road International School of Engineering (SRISE) was set up jointly by PolyU and XJTU in 2017, and later partnered with State Grid and HK Electric to organise the first university-industry collaboration programme of this type, with a view to nurturing senior talent for the power and energy industry. The Programme has attracted more than 200 industry professionals from Belt and Road countries/regions, and has generated nearly 5,300 contact hours through talks, seminars and field trips, achieving remarkable results in promoting knowledge exchange among the participants.
PolyU, XJTU, State Grid and HK Electric are joining forces again this year by contributing their knowledge, research findings and practical experience in the field of energy, with a view to enhancing technical cooperation and exchange across Belt and Road countries/regions. The renewed collaboration which is set for three more years will focus on short-term training and exchange initiatives. Training programmes will be run by SRISE focusing on two major themes, namely the "Key Technologies of Energy Interconnection" and "Electricity Supply in International Cities". Various seminars, field trips to energy facilities in the Mainland and Hong Kong as well as sharing sessions will be organised to facilitate learning on cutting-edge energy knowledge and understanding of the latest research findings in the field, as well as promoting sharing and exchange of practical experiences among industry players.
The first training programme of 2021 is planned to be conducted online in the fourth quarter of this year. More seminars for senior executives in the power and energy sector as well as exchange sessions for researchers and academics will also be held in the future.
