What we do
- We work with government departments in the UK and their counterparts in China to help them include - and get the best out of - research cooperation in their bilateral links and programmes dealing with key global challenges, such as those of climate change, infectious disease and sustainable development.
- We work also with key research organisations and funding bodies in the UK and China to explore ways in which they can collaborate more effectively.
- We facilitate missions, workshops, seminars and other activities to bring these communities together.
- We have an expanding interest in enabling the UK and China to get the best from each other through cooperation on innovation practice and policy.
- We are delighted to list as a key outcome of our work over the past two years the decision by the UK’s Research Councils to establish their first overseas office in Beijing.
