Ningbo Institute of Technology (NIT), Zhejiang University
Dr Kuan Yoong Chan, a colleague from the Engineering division, and I have visited the Ningbo Institute of Technology (NIT) located in the Zhejiang University (http://www.nit.net.cn/index.jsf). Zhejiang University opened in 2001 and is located in walking distance to the University of Nottingham Ningbo, China.
After a warm welcome by the foreign affairs officer we were introduced to the dean of mechanical engineering and her team. A brief introduction of both UNNC and NIT followed, before discussing specific research areas in more detail.

This was followed by a lab tour, which showed that some of the machines are used for commercial production. It was agreed that we will invite the NIT engineers to pay us a return visit and that we exchange ideas with regard to energy efficiency in production exploring the possibility of a common research project.
