  1. Scientific Collaboration with China – A Personal Experience and View Professor Xiaodong Chen Department of Electronic Engineering Queen Mary, University of London Director of Joint Research Laboratory Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications – Queen Mary, University of London THE CHINA IMPACTTHE WESTMINSTER HEARINGS ON THE UK’S RESPONSE TO CHINA’S ECONOMIC IMPACT 20th June, 2007

  2. Opportunities • China is an attractive market for business as well as for science innovation and technology transfer. • Fastest growing economy and largest manufacturing industry in the world; • International collaboration in a large number of areas of science and technologies have been identified in the 11th 5-year Plan; • Intellectual resources – large number of well-trained graduates. • Various schemes exist for scientific exchange and collaboration with China. • Plenty of activities have already been conducted in scientific collaboration with China at different levels.

  3. Scientific Collaboration • What is the effective model in scientific collaboration with China? • A joint research establishment with Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT) has been explored at Queen Mary, University of London (QMUL). • Set up in BUPT in November, 2003 • Serving as a bridge for collaboration between BUPT and QMUL • Led by QMUL and administrated by BUPT • Staff: QMUL - 1 professor and 2 lecturers • BUPT – 1 professor and 2 Lecturers • Research students: 2 PhD and 11 Master students.

  4. An Effective Model BUPT-QMUL Joint Research Lab is now active in: • Joint research projects: • Quasi-optical design software (funded by CNSF); • EU-China Grid Inter-Networking (funded by EC). • Technology transfer: • RFID applications in tobacco industry and traffic tolling; • Electromagnetic compatibility testing for mobile phone handsets; • ICUK Programme. • Bidding for research funding: • National Key Engineering Lab, FAST project, 863 high tech programme, and CNSF programme.

  5. Summary • The success of a joint research venture in China relies on taking care of a number of issues: • Clear division of responsibilities – leading and supporting roles; • Commitments from both parties; • Effective management; • Above all, appreciation of differences in culture, administration system and language. • A joint research establishment can serve as an effective platform for science innovation and technology transfer in China.
