On July 7, 2024, the Mid-term Exchange Meeting of the 2nd batch of CMMAI-GEM-CSU Joint Engineering Master's International Training Class in Materials Science and Metallurgical Technology (hereinafter referred to as "Exchange Meeting") was held at GEM Jingmen Park. Prof. Sun Xueliang, the academician of  Academy of Sciences and Engineering of the Royal Society of Canada, foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and lifetime chief scientist of GEM, Prof. Liu Hui, vice dean of the CSU Metallurgy and Environment, Prof. Liu Jianhong of Shenzhen University, Prof. Xu Kaihua, Board Chairman of GEM, and leaders of GEM's Central Research Institute, Raw Material Manufacturing Center, and Material Manufacturing Center were invited as experts to attend the meeting. A total of 25 students of the 2nd batch of CMMAI-GEM-CSU Joint Engineering Master's International Training Class in Materials Science and Metallurgical Technology (hereinafter referred to as the "2nd batch of master class") participated in this exchange meeting.

Students’ research projects of the 2nd batch master class covered the entire value chain of the new energy life cycle, including mineral processing, cathode material precursors, resource recycling, and environmental management. During the exchange meeting, experts analyzed each student's midterm report in depth and provided constructive comments and suggestions. Academician Sun Xueliang recognized the mid-term exchange meeting and considered that the students had learned to do research and the research results had reached the standard of mid-term reports. Professor Liu Hui pointed out that their research projects covered relevant areas, and we should make full use of the advantages of resources and experience that GEM has, and learn from experts, so that you could do better research! Professor Liu Jianhong encouraged the students to seize the opportunity, work hard and contribute to the future development of global new energy business.

At the end of the meeting, Prof. Xu Kaihua, Board Chairman of GEM, taught the students to combine technology, cost, and environmentally friendly factors in their research, as well as combine their research topics with Indonesia's national development. He also had high hopes for the 2nd batch of master class and motivated them to work together to promote the construction of the "The Golden Indonesia 2045" vision. Study metallurgy, manufacture green materials, and pursue the dream of new energy!

In this exchange, there were three first prizes, four second prizes, and seven third prizes awarded.
