The 2025 Shanghai Summer School for Outstanding Energy and Power Engineers amid New Quality Productive Forces ran from June 25 to July 22 at Shanghai Dianji University.

The program brought together 30 students and teachers from 14 countries for a month of advanced energy studies with cultural exchange.

The program offered a comprehensive curriculum with specialized courses on topics such as new energy systems, electric machinery, and engineering software. Participants attended the 14th International Conference on Clean and Green Energy and learned from leading experts through intensive lectures and workshops.

Students also visited cutting-edge industrial facilities, including nuclear power equipment production lines and intelligent power transmission workshops, gaining firsthand insights into China's advanced manufacturing innovations.

Beyond technical training, the program fostered deeper cultural understanding through immersive and hands-on experiences.

Students engaged in traditional Chinese crafts like making lacquer fans and sachets, practicing calligraphy and paper-cutting, and making dumplings, gaining a richer appreciation of China's intangible cultural heritage.

They also attended evening music parties featuring choir performances and participated in lively sports competitions. These cross-cultural exchanges helped build lasting friendships and highlighted the importance of team spirit.

The program included curated excursions to Shanghai's iconic cultural landmarks such as the China Maritime Museum, Shanghai Museum, and People's Square, inviting students to appreciate the city's unique blend of historical richness and modern charm.

Since its first launch in 2008, the Shanghai Summer School has grown into a key platform for international cooperation and exchange in Shanghai's educational development. This year's edition aligns with the needs of new productive forces and aims to establish a multi-dimensional talent cultivation system, preparing international talents to contribute to sustainable energy collaboration.
