Background for International Scientific Collaboration
1. International Context:
1.1 The increasing globalization of world economy and ever
growing information technology accelerate the globalization
process of scientific activities.
1.2 The globalization of scientific activities and new trend of
scientific and technological development have promoted
international scientific cooperation and exchanges,

Background for International Scientific Collaboration
1.3 Scientific progress and innovation has played dominant role in social and
economic development, which has attracted increasing recognition on scientific
collaboration from developed countries.
e.g. Realizing the role of international cooperation and exchanges, the USA has
formulated series of laws and regulations and worked out measures to
encourage research universities’ active involvement in scientific innovation.
Moreover, special organizations were established for guiding universities’
practice in international scientific cooperation.
The EU has also established framework scheme and measures to encourage
universities and institutions to conduct international cooperation & exchanges.

Background for International Scientific Collaboration
2. Domestic Context:
2.1 Since the reform and opening-up policy, China’s economy has maintained
sustained and rapid growth, which provides strong impetus for the development
of S & T in China.
2.2 The national “211 Project” and “985 Project” implementation has
considerably improved higher education reform and the construction of high-level
research university, through which, universities are enhancing their capacity to
speed up the pace of international scientific collaboration.

Background for International Scientific Collaboration
2.3 The national strategy of Invigorating China Through Science and Education,
the Strategy of Sustainable Development and the Outline of National Plan for
Medium and Long-term Scientific and Technological Development also provide
guidance for international scientific collaboration and exchanges.
2.4 Being aware of the significance of international cooperation & exchanges in
faculty team building, disciplinary construction, innovation capacity improvement
and talent cultivation, most Chinese Universities work out their strategic
development scheme for internationalization with stress on international scientific
cooperation & exchanges.
