UK-China ECR Workshop on Systematic Innovation for Food Security and Rural Sustainability in China

Thanks to the Newton-NSFC ECR Links Workshop Grant, “Systematic innovation for food security and rural sustainability”, this project attracted 41 ECRs mainly from UK and China.

To cope with the interruption by Covid-19 Pandemic, a series of pre-workshop activities were arranged online for ECRs to meet mentors and stakeholder representatives via group meeting, methodological salons and roundtable meetings. The above preparation provides a sound base for the UK-China ECR Links Workshop (8-9/12/2021) with aims to establish the CFRS through keynote speeches, ECR presentations and roundtable discussions.

The event was jointly hosted by Nottingham University Business School and Rural Development Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences with the support from James Hutton Institute, Centre for International Agricultural Research of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, China Agricultural University, University of Nottingham Ningbo China.
