The Cooperative Research Team was set up to enhance the communication between the research fellows and publish joint research findings. In all, its mission is to ensure that the JORCEP can acquire remarkable achievements.

2. Joint Doctor’s Degree Project

The JORCEP selects some excellent students who are in Zhejiang University or the Royal Institute of Technology to work for Joint PhD Degree. The PhD students need to study and research for 1-2 years in the other university, and finish the rest part in their own university. To avoid the course repetition, the two universities recognize the courses and research findings in each other's universities. Every student has to finish (thesis) oral defense in two universities.
