A Network for European Researchers in China

Creation date: 14 February 2008

The European Commission is planning to create a network of European researchers working in China, collaborating with Chinese researchers or interested in such a collaboration.

A new network is being developed for European researchers in China. It will provide web-based and other services for researchers who want to improve their contacts with other European researchers in China and Europe. This project is supported by the European Commission (Directorate General for Research and the Delegation of the European Commission to China) in collaboration with the Embassies of the EU Member States in China and the other European countries associated with the European Research Area.

A survey has been launched to identify ways of developing the network and the types of information and services that would be useful to European researchers. The results of this survey will be used to develop the network to be launched under the name ERA-Link/China later this year.

You can fill the survey by clicking here. If you are a European researcher and are interested, you can  fill the online questionnaire. No research area is excluded.
