Chongqing Research Cooperation University of British Columbia – Chongqing Research Cooperation In March 2015, The University of British Columbia and China’s Chongqing Municipal Education Commission signed a memorandum of understanding to create a student exchange program between UBC and some of China’s leading institutions for research and learning. UBC and its partners and Chongqing Municipal Education Commission will contribute equally to the program. For the first year, UBC, the B.C. government and Canadian not-for-profit Mitacs have committed $225,000. In total, $1,190,000 has been committed for the full three years of the program. Participating Chongqing universities: • Chongqing University • Southwest University • Chongqing Medical University • Southwest University of Political Science & Law (SWUPL) • Sichuan International Studies University (SISU) • Chongqing Normal University Mitacs Globalink Research Awards The Mitacs Globalink Research Awards support student research activity in any academic discipline in partner countries. The awards are intended to provide funding to partially costs of travel and accommodations for graduate and senior undergraduate students undertaking research projects of 12 – 24 weeks at a Chongqing partner university. Twenty-five awards of CAD$5000 have been reserved by Mitacs for UBC research activity in Chongqing hosted by faculty members at the participating universities in any discipline. The Mitacs Globalink Award application requires a detailed research plan, a budget and confirmations of supervision from a UBC faculty member and a Chongqing host faculty member. Research projects can be student-initiated, or part of a research project of a UBC faculty member or a professor in Chongqing. First round deadline March 11, 2016.

The institution believed that China’s economy is “based on survival and development as well as the construction of agriculture” and “to support long-term war and ensure departments of higher education institutions must conform its success, we should still stick to the construction of to the needs of social change, serve the requirements of agriculture” (Du, 1937). In 1938, due to the serious social change and have timely reform. At the same time, national crisis, the national government provided colleges and universities are bound to have a positive for that higher education should also include social effect on social change.

The phenology of landscape plural can predict the urban environment and guide the development of the city. The aim of the study is to get the relationship between urban environment and plant phenology. The methods monitored the phenology of the environment and garden plants in the main urban area of Chongqing from 2016 to 2019. And it is concluded that artificial light of garden lighting is between 1000 to 4000 Lx in Chongqing, and the application of LED (Light Emitting Diode) is the highest number. At the same time, the flowering period of trees is more susceptible than that of the shrubs; the flowering period of plants is more susceptible than the evergreen plants; and the fruit period of trees is earlier; the flowering period is prolonged. The flowering stage and flowering period of pruning plants are longer than the plants under natural state. This data should prove useful for future research of the subject. Keywords: nightscape lighting, plant phenology, garden plants, environment and phenology Introduction The urban environment has a great impact on plant phenology. Since 1950, the flowering period of urban garden plants has moved 1~3 days ahead in Europe (Menzel, 2002), and from 1902 to 2006, the flowing period for the shrub species in nearly 1/4 of North America also came much earlier (Neil, 2010).
