New project on academic collaboration

Which universities and research institutes in Europe are collaborating with Chinese institutions? This is the first time that the “Academic engagement tracker” of the Central European think tank The Central European Institute of Asian Studies (CEIAS) has explored this question in detail. The think tank has recorded more than 2,300 connections between academic institutions and Chinese cooperation partners on maps for several European countries, including Germany, and compiled details on the respective academic cooperation. In addition, the risk of the respective cooperation is rated. Just a few weeks ago, reports of research and scientific cooperation between German universities and partners from the People’s Republic surfaced, which allegedly have close ties to the Chinese military (China.Table reported). ari
