Taiyuan University of Technology (TYUT) gained membership as one of 21 new institutions approved for the recent University of the Arctic (UArctic) Annual Assembly in Inari, Finland. It is the only higher education establishment among the eight newly admitted from non-Arctic areas.

During its membership presentation, TYUT's research team showcased innovative achievements in extreme-environment electrical equipment and polar intelligent monitoring technology, earning high recognition from international peers.

Joining UArctic will facilitate expanded international collaboration and research resource-sharing with member institutions, create platforms for faculty and students to engage in academic organizations, and advance cooperative research and education.

This milestone marks a significant breakthrough in TYUT's internationalization strategy, enhancing its global influence in polar research. It will also provide new approaches for its electrical engineering discipline in data sharing, joint talent cultivation, and international project applications.

TYUT will utilize this membership to deepen its "industry-university-research-application" collaborative model, partnering with UArctic members to explore the frontiers of polar technology and advance China's international cooperation in Arctic affairs.

Established in 2001 under the auspices of the Arctic Council and headquartered in Finland, UArctic is an international academic network led by circumpolar universities and research institutions. With 245 members, UArctic serves as a vital platform for Arctic research, talent development, and global cooperation.
