  • Industry Linkages in Nanjing
    Chinese Policy to Stimulate University- Industry Linkages in Nanjing De-Jin Su,* Dong-Won Sohn,** & Sunwoo Sohn*** Abstract Rapid changes in the economic, social and academic environments often provide opportunities to develop new and advanced technologies. In China, recent literature on the role of universities suggests that univer- sity-industry linkages (UILs) play a substantial role in the development of high-tech industries. Since 1979 when the country became more open and underwent economic reform, Chinese central authorities, local gov- ernments, and universities have continued to set up various science and technology (S&T) policies to stimu- late UILs, contributing to China’s technological progress and economic growth. This study examines the role of S&T policies on UILs such as transfer of technology, joint research, and spin-off creation with a particular focus on Nanjing University (NJU) in Jiangsu Province. Nanjing has over 53 universities, ranking it behind Beijing and Shanghai in terms of S&T and higher education opportunities. By adopting “institutional methodology,” this study contends that UILs not only benefit universities and industry but also society in terms of job training, consulting activities, joint research, R&D results commer- cialization, patent licensing, new business creation, and other aspects. Finally, we suggest that the Chinese experience, though with some problems, might enhance our understanding of how to stimulate UILs through the arrangement of various S&T policies. Keywords UILs, S&T policies, Nanjing University, University, China Authors would like to thank Professor Shi-Chang Yan from Hohai University; Professor Li-Bo Xu from Nanjing University and Nanjing Audit University; and Professor Hui Jin from Nanjing University and Jiangsu University of Science and Technology for their excellent support.

It is becoming imperative how society can best integrate across the natural and built environments to provide a growing demand for food, energy and water while maintaining key ecosystem functions and services. The U.S. and China have the largest economies and drive the rates and patterns of global resource utilization, energy consumption, and environmental degradation. The US and China share responsibility for developing realistic goals, effective strategies, and practical protocols for the best solutions for global energy, climate, food, and environmental problems that transform the production and use of limited energy and ecosystem resources. Sustainable development is dependent on these two nations exchanging perspectives to develop a joint agenda for international solutions to future needs, and lead the world in implementing innovative technologies. China and the U.S. share important experiences in tackling environmental problems encountered in the history of economic and social development.

  • OECD THEMATIC REVIEW of TERTIARY EDUCATION Background Report for the P.R of China
    OECD THEMATIC REVIEW OF TERTIARY EDUCATION Background Report for the P.R of China National Center for Education Development Research of the Ministry of Education of the P.R. of China February 2007 1 FOREWORD With the development of economic globalisation and knowledge economy, tertiary education1 in underdeveloped countries is undergoing profound changes. The Education Committee of OECD started its Thematic Review of Tertiary Education under the title of “Rethinking Tertiary Education in a Global Economy” in 2004, which involves 24 participating countries along with China. This report is prepared to support Chinese participation in this Review, especially the review visit by the team of OECD experts to China. As the largest developing country in the world, China is taking up education work at the largest scale. In 2005, the number of registered students in China was the largest in the world, and the gross rate of enrolments exceeded 21%. According to the national development policy, secondary education is expected to become universal before 2020 and as postsecondary education and training will become fundamental for all for gaining better employment, personal and social development, tertiary education will need to be developed on a sound and continuous basis. Active participation in this the OECD Review will benefit the development and reform of Chinese tertiary education, help to satisfy the people’s demands for development. and keep China’s tertiary education policy abreast of international developments. It will also help the Chinese education policy researchers to establish close relationship with their colleagues internationally. In recent years, China has maintained effective and fruitful relationship with OECD in education field.

  • Research Report on Chinese High-Tech Industries
    RESEARCH REPORT ON CHINESE HIGH-TECH INDUSTRIES U.S. China Economic and Security Review Commission Prepared by NSD Bio Group, LLC January 2009 Preface _____________________________________________________________ In recent years there has been increasing concern with respect to the People Republic of China’s (PRC) intensified activities and efforts towards selected high technology industries (“Sunrise”) sectors - namely Biotechnology, Nanotechnology, and Electro- Optics of the PRC science and technology (S&T) industries. Issues driving interest in these areas are numerous and varied. This report attempts to shed light and insight on specific issues addressing potential implications to U.S. military, economic, and national security as China continues its accelerative pace in securing and developing advanced technologies. In light of ongoing reconfigurations of the economic landscape on a worldwide scale, as a result of unprecedented constraints and collapses of financial markets and credit liquidity, insolvency of numerous businesses and operations, and a severe loss of collective confidence, though earlier priorities of overseas trends may have been adjusted accordingly, they still remain on the forefront. National concern in the United States has arisen that the country’s once unparalleled position as leader in science and technology has been eroded by a number of factors. These external and internal factors include the globalization of S&T, the rise and development of science centers and technology zones in developing countries such as China and India, and the perception that the U.S. is not investing enough in its future given the existing pressures on its complex and interconnected S&T enterprise. It has been well documented and recorded that a loss of this leadership could potentially hurt the U.S.
