Encouraging UK-China collaboration
As part of our work to encourage collaborations between researchers in the UK and China, we sponsored a conference that was jointly organised by the Chinese Society of Chemical Science and Technology in the UK (CSCST-UK) and the Society of Chemical Industry (SCI). On 25 October, more than 70 participants from 16 universities shared their research and insights into Integrated System Approaches to High Value Manufacturing.
In addition, we announced two RSC-CSCST Emerging Talent Prizes at the conference. These prizes constitute travel grants for early-career researchers in academia to visit China to develop collaborations that will further their research.
Conference organiser and Chairman of CSCST-UK Dr Shanning Dong announced the two winners at the conference closing session. Dr Shan Jiang from the University of Liverpool and Dr Songsong Liu from University College London both received certificates alongside their prize to enable them to attend conferences or meetings in China.
