Workshop on Chinese Ways of Innovation: Strategic Directions of Research on Chinese Innovation

该奖项为一个关于中国创新方式的联合研究研讨会提供资金，汇集了来自美国和中国的研究人员。研讨会将讨论中国技术创新和经济发展过程中的几个关键问题，促进该领域新的研究合作，并制定重点研究议程。需要解决的三个关键问题是：（1）中国是否为成功的创新提供了新的范式？(2)创新在中国是如何发生的？(3)创新过程与其他发展中国家和发达国家有何不同？为期四天的讲习班将于2011年5月在洛杉矶举行，将编写一份白色文件，概述这一领域有希望的研究方法，并将广泛分发。虽然美国和其他发达国家的创新过程已经得到了研究和相对较好的理解，但针对中国等快速发展的国家的系统研究要少得多。 研讨会将为此类研究建立一个框架，并促进国际合作研究，以确定中国创新和发展的关键要素，并阐明可能影响地方和区域发展的政策问题。研讨会的成果和后续研究对各国政府和行业领导者指导世界各地的未来发展具有重要价值。

This award provides funding for a joint research workshop on Chinese ways of innovation, bringing together researchers from the U.S. and China. The workshop will address several key questions about the processes of technological innovation and economic development in China, promote new research collaborations in this area, and formulate a focused research agenda. The three key questions to be addressed are: (1) Does China present a new paradigm for successful innovation? (2) How does innovation occur in China? (3) How does the process of innovation differ from that in other developing and developed countries? The four-day workshop, to be held in Los Angeles in May 2011, will produce a white paper outlining promising approaches to research in this field that would be widely disseminated. Although the processes of innovation that occur in the U.S. and other developed countries have been studied and are relatively well understood, much less systematic research has been directed at the rapidly developing countries such as China. Creating a framework for such study and catalyzing collaborative research internationally to identify the key elements of innovation and development in China, the workshop will elucidate policy questions that can impact local and regional development. The outcomes of the workshop and subsequent research can be valuable to governments and industry leaders in guiding future development around the world.
