UOIT helps drive international conference on advanced vehicle technologies

The University of Ontario Institute of Technology’s (UOIT) commitment to drive ambitious research and innovative science is expanding in an exciting new international direction. UOIT and Tongji University in Shanghai, China have teamed up to co-host the first joint UOIT-Tongji University Conference on Advanced Vehicle Energy Concepts and Structures.

“This conference provides University of Ontario Institute of Technology research faculty and graduate students with a key opportunity to connect with some of the best automotive engineering researchers from top-ranked universities in China, Germany and Italy,” said Dr. Michael Owen, UOIT Vice-President Research, Innovation and International. “As the planet depletes fossil fuel resources, we are compelled to work together on the development of sustainable energy sources and associated new technologies. These solutions will be discovered through international collaboration, and UOIT’s engineers and scientists are important global contributors to these discussions.”
