The Chinese delegation will travel under their own funding.April 23rd is an optimal time to hold a meeting, because Bath hosts the Conference on Visual Media 2019 from 24th to 26th April. CVM, founded from Professor Hu, is one of the most well attended events in Asia, and highly regarded by Asia Graphics. This is only the second time CVM has been ourside China, and is an excellent opportunity to meet with UK researchers and industrial paretners to discuss the formation of a meaningful and productive network.
