UAlberta, NAIT, SAIT sign partnerships in China

The University of Alberta, Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, and Northern Alberta Institute of Technology have signed a number of partnerships as part of an Alberta delegation’s recent visit to China. UAlberta signed an agreement with China’s Tsinghua University to create the Joint Research Centre for Future Energy and Environment, a centre in which researchers will collaborate on a range of problems related to energy, climate change, renewable energy, and more. The Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, and BYD Company Ltd also signed a letter of intent that will reportedly pave the way to create a world-class certified training course for servicing Heavy Duty Electric Vehicles. The program would be taught by certified instructors at NAIT and SAIT campuses or via remote delivery or onsite training.
