SCNU held the 2023 Sino-Dutch Forum on Advanced Materials at the South China Academy of Advanced Optoelectronics on November 12, aiming to deepen cooperation and exchange in the field of advanced materials between universities in China and the Netherlands.
The convening of the forum is a concrete measure to implement the memorandum of understanding on Science, Technology and Innovation Cooperation, signed in September this year. It also offers a communication platform to promote stable cooperation between the two countries in advanced materials. It strengthens cooperation in joint training, mutual visits and hires, and joint research between the universities of the two countries. It expands the international cooperation platform in the field of materials science. It also deepens the consensus of developing the platform together, integrating and leading the global technology innovation network.
Wang Enke, president of SCNU, indicated that advanced material was the material base and fundamental guarantee of the new round of sci-tech revolution and industrial transformation, and determined the development level of high technology, high-end manufacturing and significant projects. Thus, it is an important domain where countries around the world seize the commanding heights of technology.
Wang said the forum was an international exchange and learning event held by SCNU. He therefore hoped that experts share their insights on the latest scientific research achievements and together explore further cooperation and development.

Antoni Mandemaker, acting consul general of the consulate-general of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Guangzhou, said that the Netherlands and China had attached great importance to the innovation development of technology. Both sides have cooperated in many areas, pursued a series of policies and invested to promote the collaborative construction of scientific research projects. He hopes that the two countries continue to enhance exchanges in various disciplines and overcome difficulties based on cooperation, to make contributions to the joint development of scientific and technological innovation.
