U.S. - China Workshop and Planning Visit on Sustainable Fuels and Clean Vehicles
The project aims to catalyze research and educational partnerships between U.S. and China in the areas of sustainable fuels and clean vehicles. The project organizes a workshop on sustainable fuels and clean vehicles accompanied with a group visit to universities in China. The goals of these activities are to exchange research and educational experience with researchers in China and discuss collaboration opportunities.
