UK-China Particle Technology Forum
2-3 April 2007
University House, University of Leeds, UK
First Announcement
Background
Both UK and China have developed large communities in the particle science & technology in the past few decades. However, communications between the communities in the two countries have been limited to very few individuals or small groups and there is very little collaboration in the real sense. The UK-China Particle Technology Forum aims to enhance communications between scientists and engineers from both academic institutions and industrial companies of the two countries, and to foster new and substantial collaborations.
The forum is proposed to take place every two years to be held in rotation between China and the UK. The first forum will be held at the University of Leeds in the UK.
