Chinese President HU Jintao called on CAS researchers to render knowledge and S&T support to China's stable and healthy economic growth amid the challenges of world financial turmoil during his recent visit to northeast China's Liaoning Province.
Hu paid a visit to the CAS Institute of Metal Research (IMR) and the SIASUN Robot and Automation Co. Ltd, on 13 December. IMR, a research arm of CAS in the field of materials research, has made substantial achievements in the fields of crystal physics, non-equilibrium materials and nano-materials, machinable advanced ceramics, special materials for crucial environments, high temperature titanium alloys, super-alloys, metallic foams, and materials protection techniques. SIASUN, a spin-off firm of the CAS Shenyang Institute of Automation, is a national research center on robotics and a base for its industrialization.
During his inspection tour, Hu encouraged CAS scientists to make energetic efforts to upgrade indigenous innovation capability and accelerate technology transfer so as to make contributions to China's drive of re-adjusting economic and industrial structures, transferring growth modes and realizing a sound and rapid development of the national economy.
