Welcome to the
Workshop
on Modern Biology and its
Social Impact
Han Jianguo
National Natural Science
Foundation of China
The Importance of the workshop
• Life science provided opportunities to reveal
and understand basic principles governing life,
and great contributions made to socio-economic
development and the improvement of welfare
and health of human being.
• Yet, more concerns on the social impacts,
issues such GMO, biodiversity and bio-ethics
etc.
Researchers’ responsibilities
• Social responsibilities:
– Help society solve problems: health, environment,
technology…
– Use public funds efficiently and responsibly
– Provide useful advice: global warming, energy,
pollution…
• Ethical responsibilities:
– Proper use of human & animal subjects in research
– Honest & accurate in publications & reports
– Disclose & manage or avoid negative impacts of
research
• 1st one was held in the spring of 2006
• Thorough exchange of ideas on some sensitive
issues has deepened the mutual understanding
of research in the field in both countries
• Hope the 2nd one may also achieve similar
effects, provide further instructions for life
science research in the future, and if possible,
lead to concrete cooperation
• Since then, noticeable progress has been made in
China-UK S&T cooperation
• Prof. David King has reassured the key position of
China as one of UK’s major strategic partners in
science
• UK-US collaborative pattern will be introduced to
China
• A 2-year special fund of 5 m pounds for collaboration
with China
• The establishment of RCUK Beijing Office
UK is an important partner of China
• Long history, good tradition and high level in
basic research
• 1% of investment, 6% of output and 10% of
citation
• A big number of Chinese scientists trained in UK
• Both wishes to promote China-UK scientific
cooperation into a new stage of development
I do not believe that in the next stage
of the global economy, success for
one country need mean failure on the
part of the other. Globalization is not
a zero sum game where one country
or continent will only succeed at the
expense of another
-- Gordon Brown MP, 21 Feb 2005
China, an important partner of UK
• China considers UK the priority
• Sino-UK cooperation started early and
extensively
• NSFC signed MoU with 7 UK organizations
• A number of cooperative projects mutually
supported, ranking the 2nd in European
countries
• Good results obtained
China, a future more important partner
Chinese science and technology is taking off
1. Innovation becomes a national strategy.
2. Reforms on S&T structures, funding and
performance.
3. Marked improvement research and education.
4. Internationalization of research system.

NSFC
• Played an extremely important role;
• Strongly supported;
• Conducted extensively international
cooperation;
• Enjoys high prestige;
• A successful story and more rapid
development in the future.
As China’s investment in science grows
and its innovation system matures, the
question for China and UK is whether we
need to do more, to scale up the level and
ambition of our collaborative efforts in
ways that can benefit both sides.
What China can offer
• More resources
• Large research manpower
• Competent students
• Improved research quality
• Better infrastructure
• Unique research environment
• Shared expertise
• Open policy
Finally
•
Wish the workshop a complete
success
•
Enjoy the friendliness of Chinese
participants
•
Enjoy the diversity and beauty of
