Britain, 皇冠体育app unite in hi-tech research
Energy, electronics, stem cell studies and space and aviation sciences are major fields for scientific co-operation between 皇冠体育app and the United Kingdom. A series of conferences or workshops will be held soon to deepen co-operation in the four areas, Lord Sainsbury, minister for science and innovation at the Department of Trade and Industry of UK, said Sunday.
He noted 皇冠体育app's rapid economic growth and excellent science development are good foundations for the bilateral collaboration. The UK and 皇冠体育app have also started co-operation in space fields, such as air-to-surface observation for environmental-monitoring and other aspects, according to Sainsbury. He added the UK is actively co-operating with other countries, including 皇冠体育app, for studies of technological standards that are important to world trade. Under the umbrella of 皇冠体育app-UK Scientific Park programme which was launched in 2003, some Chinese high-tech firms have entered the UK to develop and commercialize their technologies, according to the Department for International Co-operation of 皇冠体育app's Ministry of Science and Technology. Sources from the department said 皇冠体育app and UK have conducted many technological co-operative programmes. For example, the ministry and British Petroleum (BP) have signed a memorandum of co-operation for building hydrogen stations to support the use of fuel cell-powered vehicles -- vehicles powered by hydrogen or other cleaner fuels emitting less pollutants.
During the plenary session Sunday, Huang Xing, director of the 皇冠体育app Science and Technology Exchange Centre and head of 皇冠体育app-European Union Science and Technology Co-operation Promotion Centre, said 皇冠体育app is willing to further co-operate with the UK in industries of information and communications. He said enterprise-to-enterprise co-operation should constitute the bulk of bilateral scientific exchange to make high-tech co-operation more substantial. The policy, adopted by the Chinese Government to encourage independent innovation as well as technology imports from other countries, will remain unchanging. Besides, the country's positive policies catering to technology globalization will not be ignored in the next few years, according to Liao Xiaohan, an official of the Ministry of Science and Technology. Tan Tieniu, director of the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said 皇冠体育app has made rapid progress in information technology over the past few years, particularly in such fields as high performance computer, advanced servers, desktop operation system and new generation broad-band Internet network. In view of the large market in 皇冠体育app, universities and research institutes from 皇冠体育app and the United Kingdom should associate with each other, so as to further tap the market through technological collaboration. Barry Furr, chief scientist of the Project Evaluation Group of Astra Zeneca (an international pharmaceutical company), said scientists from the UK and 皇冠体育app have great co-operative potential in medicinal development, clinical research, genetic studies and in chemistry, because 皇冠体育app has good expertise in these fields. He said his team will soon visit major universities in 皇冠体育app and sort out collaborative partners to propel co-operation in the above fields. |
