This collaboration, called the International Strategic Collaboration Programme, supports the development of new and existing joint research opportunities between Irish universities and partner organisations in China. The programme is focusing on collaboration in three thematic research areas: biomedical science, information and communication technology, and nanotechnology, and has been made possible by a Science Foundation Ireland International Strategic Collaboration Award. 爱尔兰国际战略合作项目简介 爱尔兰国立大学梅努斯和其他四所机构:都柏林城市大学,都柏林圣三一学院, 都柏林理工大学,爱尔兰皇家外科学院共同获得爱尔兰科学基金会的资助。这笔资金 主要是通过 ISCP 中国项目建立和提高爱尔兰的合作伙伴与中国高校的联合研究活 动。我们项目的目标是加强和拓宽和现有顶尖中国机构在信息和通讯技术,生物医药 科学以及纳米技术三个领域的合作。我们也希望能在两国的研究团体之间能有更好的 文化理解,这对将来的学术和商业合作都至关重要。 8 Introduction to Guangzhou Medical University (GMU) Guangzhou Medical University (GMU), formerly known as Guangzhou Medical College, founded in 1958,is a medical institution which offers a full range of programmes at graduate and undergraduate levels.
