Thematic science workshops, seminars and symposia
The Australia-China Science and Research Fund (ACSRF) supports Australia-China science and technology workshops, seminars and symposia. This includes the long standing Australia-China Science Academies Symposia Series. These forums strengthen cooperative research links between Australia and China in areas of mutual interest.
During 2017, joint workshops between Australian and Chinese researchers were held to discuss electrical energy security and Square Kilometre Array big data.
Australia-China Science Academies Symposia Series
Established in 2004, the Australia-China Science Academies Symposia Series strengthens cooperative research links between Australia and China in areas of mutual national interest.
This forum is jointly organised by the:
- Australian Academy of Science (AAS)
- Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering (ATSE)
- Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS)
Contact the Australian Academy of Science for more information.
