The certificate of appointment was presented by Dong Qi, Vice President of Tongji University. He praised the close partnership which Tongji-University has maintained with the Schaeffler Group for many years. "With the appointment of Dr. Gutzmer, we are expanding our cooperation, which is already demonstrated by technical exchanges and the promotion of recruitment and internships both in China and in Germany."
Dr. Gutzmer gave a lecture about emobility as part of the appointment ceremony. After all, as a renowned supplier to the automotive industry, the Schaeffler Group focuses on emobility and the components required for these systems in addition to the widely known products for engines, transmissions and chassis.
The partnership between Tongji University in Shanghai and the Schaeffler Group was started by establishing the "Schaeffler Automotive Engineering Endowment" in 2006 with the objective of enabling technical exchange programs. Since then engineers from the Schaeffler Group have held seminars at Tongji University. The Schaeffler Group regularly invites graduates to the company and offers accompanying study programs.
