From June 1 to 5, 2026, at the invitation of Badmaanyambuu Ranjil, Vice President of the Mongolian University of Science and Technology (MUST), Professor Xie Hui, Deputy Director of the Office of International Affairs and Vice Dean of the Institute for  Science and Technology Development at Chongqing University (CQU), led a delegation — including Professor Zhang Xiaoming, Professor Li Yutong from the School of Civil Engineering of CQU and Professor Meini Su from the University of Manchester to visit MUST, engage in cooperation exchanges, and sign a Memorandum of Understanding.

During the visit, the two universities formally signed the Memorandum of Understanding. Representatives from MUST’s leadership,  Office of International Cooperation,  Student Cultural Service Center, and  School of Energy Engineering attended and witnessed the signing ceremony. The two sides also held in-depth discussions on improving the professional competence of wind-farm engineering technicians, strengthening faculty and student exchange programmes, and jointly establishing laboratories, further clarifying the direction of future cooperation.

As member institutions of the University Network for Research Collaboration: a Belt and Road Science and Technology Initiative (iUNRC) , the two universities have jointly launched a research project titled "Structural Mechanics and Power Generation Performance of Large-Scale Wind Power Structures in Extreme Continental Climates." The project is jointly led by Professor Zhang Xiaoming of CQU and Professor Gankhuleg Majig of MUST. Focusing on large-scale wind power facilities in cold-region environments, the project investigates key scientific issues such as the icing mechanism of wind turbines under extremely cold conditions, structural vibration characteristics, blade-tower interaction mechanisms, and optimization of power generation performance.

This cooperation represents an important practice for CQU to further integrate into the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative and to promote international industry-university-research collaborative innovation. It also marks a solid step forward for the university in serving the development of global renewable energy and contributing major expertise and solutions.
