2017年11月23日至11月27日，由联合国教科文组织国际工程科技知识中心（IKCEST）和西安交通大学联合主办，IKCEST丝路培训基地承办的第20期丝路工程科技发展专项培训在西安交通大学兴庆校区举行，共有来自西安交通大学、西北工业大学、西安电子科技大学和长安大学的69名留学生参加培训，他们分别来自35个埃塞俄比亚、安哥拉、巴基斯坦、尼泊尔、乌克兰、也门等“一带一路”沿线国家。

The 20th IKCEST Training Programme for Silk Road Engineering Science and Technology Development themed on Frontier Technology of Aerospace Engineering was held in Xingqing Campus of Xi’an Jiaotong University from November 23rd to November 27th. It was co-hosted by the International Knowledge Centre for Engineering Sciences and Technology (IKCEST) under the Auspices of UNESCO and Xi’an Jiaotong University, and organized by IKCEST Silk Road Training Base. A total of 69 foreign students from Xi’an Jiaotong University, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xidian University, and Chang’an University registered for the workshop. They are from 35 countries along the Silk Road including Ethiopia, Angola, Pakistan, Nepal, Ukraine, Yemen, etc. 

本期的培训内容为“航天航空前沿技术培训班”，内容上涵盖轻质及超轻材料在航天航空中的应用、未来天空霸主-无人飞行器、航空宇航推进系统、燃气轮机高温材料力学行为、智能材料力学简介等专业讲座，此外还穿插中国文化概述等相关“一带一路”历史文化讲座及参观3D成型技术现场演示。

This workshop focused on the topic of Frontier Technology of Aerospace Engineering. The workshop included lectures such as Application of Lightweight and Ultralight Materials and Structures in Aerospace Engineering, Ruler of the Future Sky -Unmanned Air Vehicle, Elements of Aerospace Propulsion System, High-Temperature Mechanical Behavior of Gas turbine, A Brief Introduction to the Mechanics of Smart Materials: Theories and Applications, An Overview of Chinese Culture and other historical and cultural lectures related to the Belt and Road, etc. The trainees also visited the 3D molding technology live demonstration.

截止目前，丝路培训基地已举办了20期“丝路工程科技发展专项培训”，覆盖90个国家1458名留学生。此次培训，作为丝路培训基地一项重要工作，将在培养丝路人才，服务国家“一带一路”倡议方面发挥重要的作用，同时，也为西安交大倡导发起的丝路大学联盟、国际丝路学院等一系列工作探索发展道路。

Till now, there have been 20 IKCEST Training Programmes for Silk Road Engineering Science and Technology Development, which have cultivated 1458 foreign students from 90 countries. As an important mission of the IKCEST Silk Road Training Base, this training programme plays an important role in cultivating talents and promoting the Belt and Road Initiative. In the meantime, it is also the exploring for the development direction for projects initiated by XJTU, such as University Alliance of the New Silk Road and Silk Road Academy.

联合国教科文组织国际工程科技知识中心（简称“国际知识中心”“IKCEST”）是联合国教科文组织下属二类中心，2014年6月在北京成立，依托中国工程院建设，旨在面向世界各国尤其是发展中国家的政策制定者、广大工程科技工作者提供咨询、科研、教育等知识服务。2017年2月，国际知识中心依托西安交通大学，设立“IKCEST丝路培训基地”，为“一带一路”沿线国家培养工程科技人才。

The International Knowledge Centre for Engineering Sciences and Technology (shortened as “IKCEST”) is a category II centre under the auspices of UNESCO. IKCEST was established on June 2, 2014. The Chinese Academy of Engineering is responsible for the operation and management of the IKCEST. IKCEST aims at providing knowledge-based services at a global scale in the form of consultancies, scientific research and education for policy-makers and engineering science and technology professionals in the world, with particular reference to the developing countries. In February 2017, based in Xi'an Jiaotong University, IKCEST Silk Road Training Base was established, which aims to train more engineering and technological talents for Belt-Road countries.
