On October 22, the International Exchange and Cooperation Meeting between Shenyang Institute of Technology (SIT) and the Mongolian delegation was held at SIT. The two sides signed a memorandum of cooperation, marking a new stage of substantive cooperation between the two institutions. Attendees included Ch. Sonomdagva, Dean of the School of Engineering and Technology at the National University of Mongolia; D. Batsuren, Head of the Department of Environment and Forest Engineering; Xu Hui, Researcher at the Shenyang Institute of Applied Ecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences; Wang Dongze, General Manager of Liaoning Deshen Microbial Technology Co., Ltd.; Liu Yang, General Manager of Liaoning Huadian Changxing Bio-Environmental Protection Co., Ltd.; Shan Shaopeng, General Manager of the China–Mongolia Industrial Park; and Xu Ying, Vice President of SIT.

At the meeting, Xu Ying extended a warm welcome to the Mongolian delegation and introduced SIT’s distinctive educational features and achievements in international education. SIT has now established partnerships with 62 institutions in 19 countries. SIT is deeply engaged in industry-education integration and has jointly established several modern industry colleges with leading companies. She expressed the hope that this cooperation would serve as an opportunity to deepen collaboration with the National University of Mongolia in talent development, faculty-student exchanges, and research, and to build a high-quality platform for educational connectivity between China and Mongolia.

Ch. Sonomdagva highly praised SIT’s educational strength and talent-development model. He said that the signing of the memorandum would provide a long-term platform for faculty-student exchanges between the two institutions and for young Mongolians to study in China. He looked forward to implementing more concrete projects in joint talent development, academic seminars, and joint applications for research projects. He hoped that more Mongolian students would come to SIT for further study and welcomed SIT faculty and students to visit the National University of Mongolia for academic exchanges, so that the two sides could learn from each other, draw on each other’s strengths, and jointly cultivate young talent with cross-cultural competence, enabling young students to become messengers of China–Mongolia friendship.

Xu Hui gave a thematic presentation on the Composite Microbial Inoculant Project. The plan proposes that the project will focus on the coordinated regulation of the plant–soil–microbe ecosystem, build a product system of composite microbial inoculants with stable performance, and define expected goals for application scenarios and demonstration-scale promotion.

Wang Dongze gave a thematic presentation on the Cooperation Plan for Desertification Control in Mongolia and the “Billion Trees” Plan. The plan proposes leveraging the two institutions’ cooperation platform and the company’s technical advantages in microbial inoculants to build a closed-loop ecological restoration system covering research and development, production, construction, and maintenance, thereby supporting green cooperation between China and Mongolia.

During the exchange session, the two sides held in-depth discussions on core topics such as joint talent development, faculty-student exchanges, research cooperation, and industry-education integration, reached several points of consensus, and jointly signed the Memorandum of Understanding on Academic Cooperation and Exchange between Shenyang Institute of Technology and the National University of Mongolia.

Before the meeting, the delegation visited SIT’s Advanced Manufacturing Center, the SIT–South Surveying and Mapping BeiDou Spatio-Temporal Information Industry College, the Key Laboratory for the Prevention and Control of Dangerous Forest Pests, the KUKA-Authorized Industrial Robotics College, and other industry colleges and laboratories.

Also present at the meeting were Yu Xin, Mongolia Manager of the China–Mongolia Industrial Park; Tao Lin, Director of SIT’s Science and Technology Department; and Zhang Lili, Dean of the School of International Education.
