Dr Shangfeng Du, a Research Fellow at the School of Chemical Engineering, University of Birmingham, was the 2016 recipient of the RSC - CSCST-UK travel grant. This collaborative grant between the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Chinese Society of Chemical Science and Technology based in London (CSCST-UK) enables a UK-based early career scientist to travel to China to seek further collaboration opportunities in China.
Dr Du has written a personal trip diary covering his trip to China from the 5-9 April 2016. A summary of his trip diary is published below.
Sponsored by the RSC - CSCST-UK travel grant, I visited Institute of Process Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IPE-CAS) on 6-8 Apr 2016. During this visit, I gave a seminar and had discussions with a few groups in the Institute. Several potential research collaborations were established between both institutes based on the strong research resources of CHFCR in fuel cell devices and the IPE-CAS in materials research.
I arrived at Beijing Jiannianhua Hotel in the evening on 5th April, where I stayed for the whole visiting period. After supper, I got my talk prepared for the next day.
