A four-day comprehensive, highly focused programme of science policy meetings, scientific workshops, press briefings, and science events, will allow EU and Chinese participants to assess joint achievements, exchange success stories, and set out new perspectives and new opportunities to work together to build “Better Cities, Better Lives”.

Research, science and innovation are key to ensuring that our cities develop in a sustainable way. They can give us the solutions needed to build a better future, by ensuring growth and prosperity, while improving the quality of people’s lives.

The EU-China Science and Technology Week will be a unique opportunity to :

build on the existing work done together between the EU and China, particularly through the Science and Technology Cooperation Agreement, and identify future research priorities for an even better EU - China Science Cooperation

give visibility to the most promising research projects involving European and Chinese partners working together on urban development and related themes (energy, health, biotechnologies, transport, climate change, knowledge-sharing), the hottest topics of our age.

help young Chinese researchers find out about the new opportunities for international mobility offered by the EU’s Framework Programme for Research
