On November 20th, The 11th Asian Welding Technology & Application Forum--2022 Webinar on Intelligent Welding Technology and Welding Education & Training was successfully held in Chengdu. More than 10 domestic and foreign guests delivered wonderful keynote speeches, more than 200 experts, scholars, university teachers and students attended the on-site conference of Chengdu Industry & Trade College, and more than 40 international guests from Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and Bulgaria participated in the discussion online. Meanwhile, live picture streaming allows more viewers to understand and record the highlights of the webinar.

    This webinar was jointly sponsored by China Welding Association, Asian Welding Federation, Organizing Committee of BRICS Skills Development and Technology Innovation Competition, Organizing Committee of ARC Cup International Welding Competition and  BRICS Training Center for Skills Development and Technology Innovation, and organized by the China Welding Association Surfacing and Additive Manufacturing Division, China Building Materials Machinery Association Welding Technology Division, and AWF Welding Technology and Application Committee and Beijing ARC Xinxing Science & Technology Co., Ltd.

    The main contents of this webinar include four major sections: experience sharing of training technical skills talents, introduction and exchange of advanced technology skills, sharing of welding training and educational practice, and exchange of excellent papers on welding technology.

Module 1. Experience sharing  of training technical skills talents

    Dr. Liu Zhenying, Executive Chairman of Organizing Committee of Belt & Road and BRICS Skills Development and Technology Innovation Competition, Chair of AWF Welding Technology and Application Committee, Vice President of China Welding Association, delivered a keynote speech on the theme of "Discussion on the Remote Distributed International Training and Competition Model", sharing the successful cases of remote distributed international training and competition under the influence of the international epidemic, pointing out that this training and competition mode is suitable for the current welding training and education, which promotes training via competition. In order to realize remote distributed international training and competition, it is necessary to formulate distance training and competition standards and courses, establish vocational skills international training bases and joint training centers as venues and platforms required for distance training and competitions, and carry out theoretical and technical discussions in the form of auditoriums or virtual classrooms.
