Project Objectives

Identify relevant Chinese S&T entities and conduct in-depth interviews with leading Chinese stakeholders.

Map Chinese policies and programmes established to foster research activities that truly represent the frontiers of research.

To research China’s science & technology realities as they pertain to the frontiers of research.

Frontier research is defined as research activities at the forefront of creating new knowledge that are intrinsically risky endeavours, which involve the pursuit

of questions without regard for established disciplinary boundaries or national borders.

Project Objectives

Establish a basis for the European research community to monitor research activities in China that go beyond the boundaries of current ideas

Pursue collaborative opportunities in order to create a stronger relationship between the European and Chinese research communities.

Disseminate findings to NEST representatives, relevant DG Research representatives and the European research community to encourage greater cross-border networking.
