Network of Leading UK SUPERGEN and Chinese Institutions in Energy Research

能源和环境是当今人类面临的最重要的国际挑战。本项目拟建立一个跨学科、可扩展和可持续的网络，由英国和中国领先的研究机构在能源研究领域共同合作，以实现以下目标：(1)促进与中国领先机构的超级能源协同互动和合作，并在英国和中国的能源产业之间架起一座桥梁；(2)树立SUPERGEN品牌及其在中国的影响力，作为先进技术和英国清洁能源政策的代表。该网络将在所有英国超级发电联盟的主要参与者的参与下开始运作，这些参与者已经确认了他们的支持和成员资格，以及PI和CI与中国排名前七的电力工程大学的杰出教授建立了学术联系。该项目将由PI和CI管理，通过确定和邀请更多的英中合作伙伴加入该网络，并在确定的关键优先领域成立工作组，并开发英中联合项目，从而促进拟议网络的发展和扩展。该网络将运行24个月，通过4项有组织的活动（小组访问中国、网络研讨会、互访和英国(SUPERGEN)-中国能源论坛）实现其目标，并将使拟议的网络进入自给自足的运营阶段

Energy and the Environment represent the most important international challenge facing mankind today. This project proposes to set up an interdisciplinary, expandable and sustainable network of leading UK SUPERGEN and Chinese institutions to work together in the area of energy research in order to (1) promote coordinated SUPERGEN cross-consortia interaction and collaboration with leading Chinese institutions and to bridge the energy industry in the UK and China; (2)establish the SUPERGEN brand and its influence in China as the representative of the advanced technology and UK's policy of clean energy. The network will commence the operation with the participation of key players from all the UK SUPERGEN consortia who have confirmed their support and membership and the prominent professors in the top 7 Chinese universities in electric power engineering with whom the PI and CI have established academic links. The project will be managed by the PI and CI for the evolution and expansion of the proposed network by identifying and inviting more collaborators both in the UK and China to join the network with the taskforce groups formed in the identified key priority areas and the UK-China joint projects developed. It will run for 24 months to meet its objectives via 4 organised activities (a small group visit to China, a network workshop, exchange of visits and a UK(SUPERGEN)-China Energy Forum) and will bring the proposed network to the stage of self-supporting operation
