The representatives from the Belarusian National Academy of Sciences included: Vitali. Zaleski, Director; Dzmitryi Antonovich, Head of the Radiation Welding Methods Sector in the Department of Electron Beam Technologies and Plasma Physics; Mikchail Kovalco, Deputy Head of the Materials Science and Casting-Deformation Technologies Department.
On 23d June, delegates participated in the ceremonial opening of the Belarusian National Academy of Sciences branch in China, attended by representatives from the ministries and government of Shaanxi Province. Representatives of PTI NAS of Belarus delivered reports during the sectional meetings on «Machine Engineering and Electrical Engineering» and «Materials Science and Nanotechnology».
On 24th June, during a meeting with representatives from the Institute of Metal Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IMR CAS) a contract with the PTI NAN of Belarus for the research project «Experimental Study of Deformability at High Strain Rates of Difficult-to-Deform Sheet Metal Materials» was signed. There was also a meeting with Professor Chen Biao’s team from the School of Materials Science and Engineering (SMSE), where the parties discussed issues related to the production of high-strength aluminium alloys and composites based on them. As a result of the meeting, a decision was made to continue bilateral cooperation and prepare an application for participation in the competition for international scientific and technical projects.
