The Fudan University-Dow Joint Materials Research Center, established in 2012, is the first joint research center established by Dow in a university in the Asia-Pacific region. It is also the first joint research center established by Fudan University’s Advanced Materials Laboratory and a large multinational enterprise. Research center.
In the new phase of the cooperation agreement, the two parties will continue to focus on the field of materials science, combining Dow’s business portfolio of high-performance materials, industrial intermediates and plastics to cooperate on R&D projects in packaging, infrastructure, consumer care and other application fields. Joint laboratory construction, and at the same time support the training and exchange of talents in materials disciplines.
Dr. Fu Liya, chief technology officer of Dow Asia Pacific, said: “It is very important for Dow to collaborate with professionals from top academic teams, which will help us transform research results into high-value, Solutions that scale and advance the transformational Sustainable Development Goals. Our long-term collaboration with Fudan University has yielded exciting results. We look forward to achieving more breakthroughs through our continued collaboration.”
Ten years of cooperation, fruitful results
Since its establishment in 2012, the two parties have cooperated on about 50 projects, published 16 articles, and applied for more than ten patents.
Both parties are committed to joint talent cultivation, with more than 25 professors and 50 graduate students participating in the cooperation. More than 30 graduate students from Fudan University have entered Dow’s R&D summer intern program, and more than ten doctoral graduates have joined the Dow R&D family.
The cooperation between the two parties has also been commended by the government, and has won the 2014 Shanghai International Cooperation Award and the title of Shanghai’s Top Ten Collaborative Innovation Foreign Investment Enterprises in 2021.
Working together for a new future
The Joint Center is not only an internationally innovative example of school-enterprise cooperation, but also promotes scientific research, ideological collision, idea expansion, and achievement transformation among scientists from Fudan University and Dow Corporation, providing an important exchange for each other. window for cooperation. In the future, both parties will continue to take advantage of the platform and jointly promote the research and development process of the materials science industry with the concept of open innovation and win-win results.
