2017年12月2日至12月10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21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、长安大学、石油大学的62名留学生参加培训，他们分别来自巴基斯坦、尼泊尔、泰国、秘鲁等“一带一路”沿线国家。

The 21st IKCEST Training Programme for Silk Road Engineering Science and Technology Development themed on New Energies and Energy Technologies was held in Xingqing Campus of Xi’an Jiaotong University from December 2nd to December 10th. 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 62 foreign students from Xi’an Jiaotong University, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xidian University, Chang’an University registered for the workshop. They are from countries along the Silk Road including Pakistan, Nepal, Thailand, Peru, etc. 

开班仪式上，西安交通大学社会教育管理处巩稳定副处长对同学们给予了殷切期望。他希望同学们不仅能自己成才，学成归国后还要服务国家，共建丝绸之路。

On the opening ceremony, Gong Wending, Deputy Director of Social Education Management Department of Xi’an Jiaotong University, expressed his ardent expectations for the students. He hoped that the students would not only be able to become talented, but also serve the country after they return to their homes and make their contributions to the Silk Road.

本期的培训为“新能源与能源技术培训班”，内容涵盖燃烧-人类文明之火花、透平机械及其能量转换、现代能源科学技术的现状及发展趋势、清洁环境回收能源的新技术、新型制冷与热泵技术、新型压缩空气储能原理及关键设备等专业课程及一带一路的历史文化背景综合类课程，并安排参观陆港集团。

This workshop focused on the topic of New Energies and Energy Technologies. The workshop included lectures such as Combustion: Spark of Civilization, Turbomachinery and Its Energy Transformation, The Present Situation and Development Trend of Modern Energy Science and Technology, New technology for Energy Harvesting via Environment Cleaning, Novel Refrigerating and Heat Pump Technology, Principle and Key Equipments of New Compressed-Air Energy Storage (CAES), The Historical and Cultural Background of the Belt and Road, etc. They also visited to the Land Port Group.

目前，丝路培训基地已举办了21期“丝路工程科技发展专项培训”。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 21 IKCEST Training Programmes for Silk Road Engineering Science and Technology Development. 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 exploring 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.
