CO-REACH
CO-REACH launched in Beijing on 11 May 2005, is a network of European S&T policy and funding organisations involved in promoting research co-operation with China in the natural sciences, medical and life science, engineering sciences, social sciences and humanities.
This network is intended to create coherence and synergy in Europe's S&T relations with China.
It will do so by promoting the co-ordination of China-related policies and associated research funding programmes of individual European countries, and integrating these efforts with those of other multi-lateral European initiatives, including the programmes and agreements of the European Commission. For further information please see the CO-REACH pages
