Research and innovation: Success of the TU Darmstadt and Tongji University!

From June 11th to 12th, 2025, a special event took place at the Technical University of Darmstadt: Research Days, which opened promising opportunities for the exchange between scientists: inside in early career phases of the TU Darmstadt and the Tongji University. The discussions about topics that have the potential to shape our future, such as is mentioned in a report by the TU Darmstadt

The series of events ended with a solemn reception in the Lichtenberghaus, in which a memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed in the Automotive area. This strategic partnership is the second oldest of the TU Darmstadt and confirms the commitment of both institutions in research, teaching and innovation. Vice President Walther emphasized the merits of well -known personalities from both universities, including Professor Li Keping from Tongji University and the emeritus Professor Gerhard Sessler, who was also recognized for his contribution to initiating this cooperation.

research and innovation in the automotive industry

The research topics during the Research Day included exciting perspectives such as future transportation and production, smart materials and devices as well as language and knowledge. These topics are not only for scientists: inside, but also in the context of current developments in the automotive industry, where the need for a uniform standard work for electromobility is becoming increasingly present. The creation of such norms enables easier international exchange and promotes cooperations, as well as The Global Times reported .

collaboration at a global level

The development of uniform standards and standards is a central aspect to meet the needs of the globally operating automotive industry. The German-Chinese sub-work group of electromobility, which was launched in 2011, has set itself the goal of finding common solutions for standardizing topics. Topics such as batteries, vehicle security and charging systems are in the focus to advance innovations and avoid double formation. Here it becomes clear that international cooperation also plays an important role in the area of ​​standardization to ensure resource conservation and efficiency.

The Research Days at the TU Darmstadt not only offered the platform for significant scientific discussions, but also created the basis in order to further deepen the desired cooperation between Germany and China. It remains exciting to see how these partnerships will develop in the future.
