Duan Weng , Tsinghua University, China R.P.H. Chang, Northwestern University, US BackgroundCooperation between the US and China in the areas of energy and environment can produce significant benefits to the entire global community. Both countries consume large amounts of energy and generate large amounts of environmental pollutants, resulting in climate change, health risks, and other global problems.The National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and the US National Science Foundation (NSF) are co-organizing a series of workshops addressing these shared challenges. The first workshop in this series, held in Evanston, Illinois in September 2008, generated a series of recommendations to improve US-China collaborations in these critical areas. Workshop Goals
The goal of the China-US Workshop 2009 was to develop specific plans for implementing the recommendations produced during the first workshop. Six Chinese-US working groups have been formed to develop specific implementation plans for collaborative research, facilities sharing, education, and cyber-infrastructure development. Workshop deliverables included
It is hoped that
this information will inform the establishment of joint funding programs by US
and Chinese agencies. Program Highlights
