The School of Materials Science and Engineering, Ningbo is one of the university’s key frontier schools under development. Closely aligned with national strategies and local economic development needs, the school focuses on cutting-edge new materials and new energy, delivering critical material support and innovation momentum for strategic emerging industries such as artificial intelligence, intelligent manufacturing and unmanned technologies.

Taking new energy materials and electronic information materials as its two core development directions, the school has established the Zhejiang Provincial Laboratory for All-Solid-State Power Battery Technology and Application, Ningbo Key Laboratory of All-Solid-State Batteries, Ningbo Key Laboratory of Low-Carbon Hydrogen Energy, and the Joint Laboratory for Intelligent Simulation and Immersive Visualization. It has also co-built the Laboratory of Flexible Sensing and Human-Machine Interaction and the Laboratory for Intelligent Manufacturing of All-Solid-State Power Batteries with the Ningbo Digital Twin (EIT) Research Institute, gradually forming a full-chain innovation system spanning fundamental research to application translation.

Going forward, the school will continue to recruit global talents and tackle core technologies. It strives to build a world-leading hub for materials innovation and a training base for high-level talents, contributing EIT’s strength to China’s pursuit of becoming a powerhouse in materials science.
