Sino-British Institute for Materials Research

由于中国将在未来几十年成为全球经济增长的主要来源，英国显然必须与中国正在培养的优秀研究（例如，中国的工程研究在影响力方面已经排名世界前三，在物理学方面排名第二，占世界论文的近20%）联系起来，并从这些研究的开发和实施潜力中受益。玛丽女王在与中国合作伙伴合作方面有着出色的记录。我们与中国高等教育院校的长期合作伙伴关系最能证明我们与北京邮电大学的成功合作，不仅在教学方面提供了经国际教育考试认证的电信联合（双学位）课程，而且还通过机构合作伙伴关系和研究中心，以及许多个人研究合作。我们与中国工业合作伙伴的合作记录建立在创新中英（ICUK）项目上，这是第一个促进联合创新和知识转移的中英合作项目。该项目于2007年启动，由玛丽女王领导，耗资490万英镑。随着原始资金的结束，ICUK已被纳入玛丽女王的业务发展部门。该项目旨在以玛丽皇后大学在中国的经验为基础，与四川大学共同发展中英材料研究所，并以此为基础，与主要由中国政府资助的中国顶级机构开展合作。该项目旨在建立我们在有机光子学和自旋电子学方面的现有优势，以发展真正的国际研究项目。

As China is set to be the major source of global economic growth for the next decades, it is clearly essential that the UK is linked into and can benefit both from the excellent research that is being fostered in China (China's engineering research is already in the world top three for impact, for example, and second in Physics, with nearly 20% of world papers), and from the potential for the exploitation and implementation of that research.Queen Mary has an outstanding track record of working in collaboration with Chinese partners. Our ability to collaborate successfully with China HEI's is best evidenced in our long-term award-winning partnership with China in teachingproviding IET-accredited joint (dual) degree programmes in telecommunications with BUPT, but also through institutional partnerships and research centres, and through numerous individual research collaborations. Our track record of working with industrial partners in China builds on the Innovation China UK (ICUK) programme which was the first UK-China collaboration to promote joint innovation and knowledge transfer. Launched in 2007, the £4.9 million HEFCE and BISfunded initiative, was led by Queen Mary and with the end of the original funding ICUK has been embedded into Queen Mary's business development unit.This project aims to build on Queen Mary's experience in China to develop our joint Sino-British Institute for Materials Research with Sichuan University and use it as a base for developing collaborations with top Chinese Institutions which are funded primarily through the Chinese Government.The project aims to build on our existing strengths in Organic photonics and spintronics to develop true international research projects.
