III. Conclusions
Differences in research culture: open competition based on peer review in
Europe vs hierarchical, top-down approach in China
Common priorities supporting complementary strengths: e.g. energy, climate
change, food security, urbanisation, aviation, ICT
Access to national level funding depends critically on local partners

Access to national level funding depends critically on local partners
Many Chinese research programmes tend not to cover staff costs (except some
programmes from Hong Kong)
Track record of collaboration is important papers, patents, MoUs
Engaged leadership, governing body and follow-up capacity can be crucial
build reliable networks
