项目摘要

Investment in the British Inter-university China Centre (BICC) remains of vital national importance. We must look ahead strategically and adapt the UK's priorities swiftly and appropriately to address the research and educational demands arising from China's emergence, as what many today are calling "the Chinese century" unfolds. The UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office's 2010 strategy document, 'The UK and China: A framework for engagement', stated bluntly that "China's impact on UK interests is already critical, and it is growing." One of the aims it set out for shaping the UK's response was 'equipping the British people to seize the China opportunity through better understanding of China and better Chinese language skills', and through 'increased educational and scientific links at institutional level between universities, research bodies, colleges and schools, and a greater two way flow of students, academics and researchers'. The objective of BICC's programme of activity remains as it was in the current phase: to inform and contribute to these strategically vital processes.In BICC the universities of Bristol, Manchester and Oxford combined forces to develop the UK's premier teaching and research facility on China. Each of the three partner institutions had embarked on a major investment in this area, thus leveraging the long-term impact that the grant will have.In its second phase, BICC foregrounded the building of new knowledge exchange partnerships with non-academic organisations, and the inauguration of new international research networks, in which knowledge exchange activities will be embedded, all of this activity being grounded in language expertise, and supported by a new programme of language training for university and non-university researchers in Chinese studies. In its third phase the programme of new activity maintains the impetus of the work already delivered, focussing on the humanities and languages areas and on knowledge exchange [KE] and partnership activity. Embedded in the wider institutional context of each partner, it continues to contribute to shaping debates and informing practice in key areas of policy concern including human rights, natural disasters, multiculturalism, and international diplomacy, as well as cultural engagement with creative sector SMEs, or other public or third sector cultural or civic organisations. It involves providing new vehicles for facilitating such engagement, including with international partners, providing opportunities for early career researchers, and extending the reach of BICC's engagement with UK and international partners. Activities will not be restricted to researchers and students already within the BICC orbit, nor to those at BICC partner institutions. KE has been central to BICC activities since the start of its operations, although many of our researchers and students have initially focused on academic career development: PhD research, academic networking, and publication. In this follow-on funding phase we are able to place KE at the heart of our structured new activity, and that way to provide early career researchers at an early stage in their development with experience and exposure to relationships and interactions outside the HEIs.

对英国大学间中国中心的投资仍然对国家具有至关重要的意义。我们必须高屋建瓴地向前看，迅速适当地调整英国的优先事项，以满足中国崛起带来的研究和教育需求。今天，许多人将中国称为“中国世纪”。英国外交和联邦事务部2010年的战略文件《英国与中国：接触框架》直截了当地表示，“中国对英国利益的影响已经是至关重要的，而且还在不断扩大。”它为英国的回应设定的目标之一是，通过更好地了解中国和更好的中文技能，以及通过增加大学、研究机构、学院和学校之间的机构层面的教育和科学联系，以及更多的学生、学者和研究人员的双向流动，让英国人民有能力抓住中国的机会。国际商会活动计划的目标与当前阶段一样：为这些具有战略重要性的过程提供信息并做出贡献。在国际商会，布里斯托尔大学、曼彻斯特大学和牛津大学联合起来，开发了英国首屈一指的关于中国的教学和研究设施。在第二阶段，BICC的重点是与非学术机构建立新的知识交流伙伴关系，并建立新的国际研究网络，其中将嵌入知识交流活动，所有这些活动都以语言专业知识为基础，并得到一个为大学和非大学研究人员提供语言培训的新计划的支持。在第三阶段，新活动方案继续推动已经开展的工作，重点放在人文和语言领域以及知识交流和伙伴关系活动上。在每个伙伴更广泛的体制背景下，它继续推动在人权、自然灾害、多元文化主义和国际外交等关键政策关切领域的辩论和实践，以及与创意部门中小企业或其他公共或第三部门文化或民间组织的文化接触。它包括为促进这种接触提供新的工具，包括与国际合作伙伴的接触，为早期职业研究人员提供机会，以及扩大BICC与英国和国际合作伙伴的接触范围。活动将不限于已经在BICC轨道上的研究人员和学生，也不限于BICC合作机构的研究人员和学生。自BICC开始运营以来，KE一直是BICC活动的核心，尽管我们的许多研究人员和学生最初都专注于学术生涯发展：博士研究、学术网络和出版。在这一后续资助阶段，我们能够将KE置于我们结构化新活动的核心，通过这种方式，为处于早期发展阶段的职业研究人员提供经验，并接触到高等院校以外的关系和互动。
