International Research Cooperations • 40 new projects developed in 2008 • EU projects (11 projects since 2005) • Overseas governmental projects: ACIAR, BMBF, CIDA, etc. • Overseas NGO Research foundations • Chinese Government national International research projects • Bi-lateral governmental projects • ……

  17. Cases • Case I: Cooperation with German universities(1979-now) • Case II: Cooperation with Australian Universities(1992-now) • Case III: International Centers and Laboratory • CAU-JIRCAS Center for Post-harvesting Processing of Grain • China-Israeli International Center for Training in Agriculture • CAU-UC Riverside Joint Laboratory for Biotechnology • CAU-UC Riverside Joint Laboratory for Ecology and Sustainability • ……

  18. Sino-German projects: 30 years cooperation(1979-2008-2013) Nov. 1979 First delegation of University of Hohenheim visited CAU, Small research projects and seminars by German professors Phase I: 1980 MOU between UH and CAU, 1981 First research projects (Efficient use of fertilizers, agricultural production economics, improving agricultural machinery) Phase II: 1984-1994 CIAD Program (Center of Integrated Agricultural Development) funded by GTZ 14 subprojects Phase III: 1997-2003 research project “sustainable agriculture in the north China plain” funded by BMBF and NSFC Phase IV:2004-2008 Research Training Group “Sustainable Resource Use in theNorth China Plain” funded by DFG and Chinese Ministry of Education Phase V:2009-2013: Further Extension of the project funded by DFG and ChineseMinistry of Education
