Workshop: UK/China Network for the Creative Sector: Founders Meeting

创意产业对英国和中国的经济都很重要，各占整体经济活动的5%左右；该行业预计还会增长。此外，该部门的研究对体育、卫生、安全等其他部门也有影响。双边合作将使两国学术界和产业界受益；这一点已经得到了最近旨在建立合作的人权委员会资助方案的认可。我们的网络与AHRC倡议一起，旨在为英国和中国的顶尖大学提供基础研究合作，并将这些活动与创意部门的学术和工业同事联系起来。成立会议将由英国的Hall和Yang以及中国清华大学的胡世民教授共同组织。中国代表团将自费前往。4月23日是召开会议的最佳时间，因为巴斯将于4月24日至26日举办2019年视觉媒体会议。由胡教授创立的CVM是亚洲最受欢迎的活动之一，受到亚洲图形的高度重视。这是CVM第二次来到中国以外的地方，这是一个与英国研究人员和工业合作伙伴会面的绝佳机会，可以讨论形成一个有意义和富有成效的网络。
