RCUK China

On 30 October 2007 Research Councils UK (RCUK) established a team in China, and is based in Beijing.

China's growing importance in the world is clear; the UK already jointly authors more science papers with China than any of our EU neighbours. The main goal of RCUK China is to make it easier for talented researchers in both countries to work together on projects that advance knowledge, improve the quality of life, and promote social and economic progress by helping to remove barriers to research collaborations between the two countries.

OUR STRATEGY

• Increase RCUK influence in UK-China international research strategy and policy development
• Provide opportunities to enable excellent researchers to flourish through UK and Chinese research collaborations
• Enhance the value and impact of joint research through UK-China international collaboration
• Show RCUK’s commitment to key global responsibilities in a world where challenges cross national boundaries.

We issue newsletters for both countries’ research communities and funding agencies. The contents include UK-China collaborative research founding opportunities, UK/China S&T news and policies, news from the Research Councils and the China Office activities. Below are the latest issues for free downloading. The RCUK China website (www.rcuk.cn) is currently unavailable for technical reasons, and we will try to bring it back as soon as possible.
