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，每个产业都控制着整体经济活动的5%左右；预计该产业还会增长。此外，该产业的研究还会对体育、卫生、安全等其他领域产生影响。双边合作将使两国的学术界和产业界都受益。最近AHRC的资助计划已经认识到了这一点，旨在建立合作。我们的网络与AHRC倡议并驾齐驱，目的是在英国各地的一流大学和中国之间提供基础研究合作，并将这一活动与创意领域的学术界和产业界同行联系起来。创始会议将由英国的霍尔和杨以及中国的清华大学胡世民教授组织。中国代表团将自费出行。4月23日是召开会议的最佳时间，因为巴斯将在4月24日至26日主办2019年视觉媒体大会。CVM由胡教授创立，是亚洲参观者最多的活动之一，受到亚洲图形公司的高度重视。这只是CVM第二次站在我们中国一边，这是一个与英国研究人员和行业合作伙伴会面的绝佳机会，讨论如何形成一个有意义和富有成效的网络。

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.

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.
