The Efficiency and Performance Engineering Network (TEPEN) establishes a new research hub at Beijing Institute of Technology in Zhuhai (BITZH) on May 3 & 4, 2019. The two-day launch event involves a series of keynote seminars on themes in diagnostic engineering, detailed discussions of how to organise and hence maximise the benefits of the new network, and laboratory tours and demonstrations.
TEPEN includes more than 10 highly-prestigious Chinese universities, including Shanghai Jiao Tong, Xi’an Jiao Tong, Tsinghua, Chongqing, Nanjing, Tianjin and Zhejiang. It aims to ensure that machines ranging from aero engines to wind turbines operate as reliably and efficiently as possible, leading to cost savings and environmental benefits. TEPEN targets to form a large international network which will foster close research collaboration, staff and student exchanges and host a large annual conference, held alternately in the UK and China.
