(focus on science and technology)
– what are the ways to explore and materialize the cooperation possibilities?
(a dialogue taking place right now is one good example of that)
Professor – Professor Undertake joint research activities – Link building
(research workshops, conferences, seminars etc. as platforms for building links)
– Bilateral or multilateral researcher exchange programs
– Incentives for encouraging joint application for Sino-Brazil S&T projects
Students – StudentsDevelop student mobility – Proper promotion to Brazilian students of study in China
– Presenting a variety of study options
(degree programs, non-degree awarding exchange, summer visits etc.)
