Tour of China 2014 Discover Research and Innovation Collaboration with Europe EUROPEAN UNION DELEGATION TO CHINA AND MONGOLIA Science, Technology and Environment Section Tour of China 2014 Discover Research and Innovation Collaboration with Europe Third European Research and Innovation Information Campaign Summary Report Co-organised by: * The EU Member States * The Countries Associated to the Framework Programme * The Delegation of the European Union to China Page 1 Objective and policy context Following on the successful two first editions of the TOUR OF CHINA carried out in 2012, and 2013 this year’s "Tour of China 2014" was another ambitious promotional journey across China organised as a joint project between the EU Member States, the Countries Associated to the Framework Programme and the Delegation of the European Union in Beijing. This year the Tour of China drew from lessons and experiences from the previous 2 years, allowing this year's event to be more strategic, more targeted and effective, so as to truly demonstrate the excellence of European research and the opportunities offered. The objective of the third edition of the “Tour of China” was to further enlarge the scope of existing research and innovation cooperation between the European Union and China, to provide a more thematic focus of collaboration opportunities and to further strengthen EU China relations in a more strategic way. Overall, the goal was to further boost the visibility of research and innovation collaboration between Europe and China and to consolidate Europe's position as THE strong partner for China in regards to science and innovation cooperation. Therefore the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) was chosen as THE partner for the Tour of China 2014. CAS is not only one of the most important bilateral collaboration partners for EU Member States, but also the Chinese institution with the highest participations in the previous 7th EU Framework Programme (FP7). CAS enjoys an excellent public image and has a profound and significant track record of excellence in science, research and development in China. The Tour also aimed to foster better knowledge and understanding of European policies and instruments for international research and innovation collaboration at national and European level, to develop new contacts, and to deepen and broaden fields of mutual interest. Thanks to the commitment and interest on both sides, the Tour of China 2014 contributed to the widening of existing cooperation and to the development of new synergies between Europe and China. The Science Counsellor of Italy, Professor Plinio Innocenzi, kindly volunteered to lead the taskforce specifically set up for the 2014 edition. The EU Delegation and EU Member States jointly collaborated on this third edition of the Tour which took place from May 6th 2014, until the Final Event on June 27th in Beijing. Venues of the TOUR Throughout the months of May and June 2014, the Tour showcased Europe’s wide array of research and innovation opportunities in 9 major research intensive Chinese cities – Kunming, Chengdu, Hefei, Shanghai, Suzhou, Xiamen, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Beijing – by reaching an audience of more than 700 Chinese researchers, scientists and innovation stakeholders. The Tour visited some of China's top CAS institutes covering scientific areas from urbanisation, zoology to nanotechnology and many more. The CAS institutes hosting the different events of the Tour of China were: Chengdu Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment Kunming Institute of Zoology Hefei University of Science and Technology, CAS Shanghai Branch, Education Centre Suzhou Institute of Nanotech and Nano-bionics Xiamen Institute of Urban Environment Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology Page 2 Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry Institute of Biophysics Closing Event in Beijing As a grand finale, the Tour's closing event was held on Friday June 27, 2014 at the Institute of Biophysics (IBP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). This provided an excellent opportunity for Chinese stakeholders to engage with European officials on research and innovation. Opening speeches were delivered by Prof. Zengqiang Yuan, Assistant Director of IBP followed by remarks by Prof. Cao Jinghua Deputy Director-General International Cooperation Office of CAS. The closing remarks of the Tour of China 2014 were delivered by Mr. Xing Jijun, Deputy Director General, CSTEC (MoST) and the final word of the Tour of China 2014 was given to Prof. Plinio Innocenzi on behalf of the Italian Embassy and as Chair of the Tour of China 2014.

Page 3 Format of Events The events were held in a "Seminar style", with the following elements, organised by the institute and the event coordinator (EU Member State, Associated Country or EU Delegation) as main contact points for each event: Welcome speech and presentation of the overall objectives of the "Research & Innovation awareness raising and information campaign in China", by the local authorities and the EU Delegation. A very brief introductory presentation to the European Union (presented by the event coordinator) Series of presentations of bilateral Research & Innovation cooperation programmes, by representatives of the EU Member States (in order according to the official EU country order protocol) Presentation of Horizon 2020: The EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation. Presentation by Euraxess Links China Country representative Q&A session allowing the audience to address specific questions to participants, and to engage in discussion. Networking refreshments or lunch (cost dependent) provided the CAS host institute in most cases In addition to the main seminar, the Tour of China included in most cases activities such as: A round-table meeting with Chinese representatives and key research personnel of the local CAS institutions and in some cases other local key universities and institutions. The participation to these meetings were limited in numbers but focused on key decision-making personnel capable of acting as multipliers of the information, i.e. directors, deans, key research personnel, heads of international cooperation office etc. These meetings included information and experience sharing in Europe-China cooperation projects. Page 4 A visit through CAS institute or to other scientifically relevant venues in the city and introduction to the state of collaboration of the institute. The following visits were conducted: Hefei National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory National Laboratory for Physical Science at the Microscale (Hefei) Zhangjiang Hi-tech Park (Shanghai) Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility Shanghai Advanced Research Institute (SARI), Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica BioBay, Life Science High-tech Incubator (Suzhou) Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth (RADI) Institute and Laboratory visits during the Tour of China 2014 Page 5 Geographical Scope Tour of China 2014 (Figure 1: Geographical Scope Tour of China 2014, 9 cities in 4 clusters including the Beijing Event) Compared to geographical scope Tour of China 2013 (Figure 2: Geographical Scope Implemented of Tour of China 2013) Page 6 Compared to geographical scope Tour of China 2012 (Figure 3: Geographical Scope Implemented of Tour of China 2012) Participation Audiences: In total, approximately 700 participants attended the seminars of the campaign in 2014. Participants were mainly academic researchers and university professors and also a range of Science and technology students, PhDs and Post-Doctoral Students. The participation of industry, in particular SMEs, was very much welcomed in order to give proper attention to the dimension and applications of innovation. The participation was also open to other institutions of the selected location. The number of participants in the audiences increased from 600 in 2012 to around 800 in 2013, and slightly less in 2014 with participation numbering at 700. The reason for the lower number of participation in this year's tour is the due to the fact that at certain events, the host institute preferred to keep a lower number of participation with "higher-level" participants at their institute in order to stimulate more in depth discussion. Number of participants at each event Tour 1 Chengdu 100 Kunming 30 Tour 2 Hefei 150 Shanghai 50 Suzhou 50 Tour 3 Xiamen 50 Shenzhen 50 Guangzhou 100 Final Event Beijing 120 Total 700 Page 7 Speakers: European Counsellors from 12 EU Member States and Associated Countries: Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Hungary, Netherlands, Austria, Finland, Malta, Portugal, UK together with the EU Delegation and EURAXESS Links China presented opportunities for research and innovation collaboration at different CAS host institutes across China.

However, this bleak scenario did not materialise. The aim of this paper is to analyse the reasons behind this longevity – mainly, during the first decade-and-a-half of Mao Zedong’s regime, when the leadership of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) held officially to a rather strong revolutionary, anti-colonialist and anti-imperialist posture. Resumo Aquando da iminente tomada de poder pelo Partido Comunista Chinês (PCC) na China Continental em 1949, os decisores portugueses em Macau e em Portugal temeram pelo colapso do exíguo enclave e a precipitação do princípio do fim do império portu- guês.
