In 2009, the Royal Society of Chemistry signed a cooperation agreement with the State Administration for Foreign Experts Affairs (SAFEA), a division of the Chinese Government. As part of a wider governmental initiative to enhance the global impact of Chinese science and China’s higher education institutions, the RSC and SAFEA provide funding for a Visiting Researchers Programme. This encourages academics from the UK to visit Chinese universities to share best practice, advise Chinese researchers on presenting their research to an international audience and to stimulate collaboration between UK and Chinese institutions.
 
This blog provides a space for participants to share their experiences and for the RSC to highlight the opportunities that stem from the SAFEA programme.

Summary
I spent 3 weeks in China, funded through the joint Royal Society of Chemistry / (Chinese) State Administration for Foreign Experts Affairs [RSC-SAFEA] programme.  My trip (covering North, South, East and West China) consisted of visits to Guangzhou (where I visited Jinan and Sun Yat-Sen universities), Beijing (Beijing University of Chemical Technology and Tsinghua University), Taiyuan (Shanxi University), Xi’an (Northwestern Polytechnic University) and Nanjing (Nanjing University and Southeast University).  I gave invited lectures at two conferences in Beijing and at the universities I visited I gave research seminars and had research talks with existing and potential collaborators.  I also discussed undergraduate exchange programmes and answered questions about studying and carrying out research in Birmingham and the UK in general.  In addition, during my visit to Beijing, I gave an Understanding Science public lecture and a lecture to high school students (Dulwich College, Beijing).
