20世纪六七十年代中国科学院与英国皇家学会科技交往的建立和恢复

The Establishment and Restoration of Scientific and Technological Exchanges Between The Chinese Academy of Sciences and The Royal Society in the 1960s and 1970s

作为中英最重要的科学研究机构,中国科学院与英国皇家学会的科技交往具有代表性。1959年,英国皇家学会会长西里尔·欣谢尔伍德访华。1962年,英国皇家学会副会长乔治·布朗率团访华,与中国科学院初步建立起互访和进修的交流渠道,后因“文化大革命”爆发而停滞。1972年,英国皇家学会会长艾伦·霍奇金受邀率团访华,两机构科技交往的大门再次打开。考察中国科学院与英国皇家学会20世纪六七十年代科技交往的过程,体现出外交部门以及两机构的管理者为开展中英科技交往所做的不懈努力,也反映出政治和外交因素在其中所起的决定性作用。

As the most important scientific research institution in China and Britain,The Chinese Academy of Sciences and The Royal Society are representatives in their scientific and technological exchanges.In 1959,Cyril Norman Hinshelwood,President of The Royal Society,visited China.In 1962,George Brown,Vice President of The Royal Society,led a delegation to China and initially established an exchange channel for mutual visits and further studies with The Chinese Academy of Sciences,but stagnated due to“the Cultural Revolution”.In 1972,Alan Lloyd Hodgkin,President of The Royal Society,was invited to lead a delegation to China,and the door of scientific and technological exchanges between the two institutions was opened again.The investigation of the process of scientific and technological exchanges between The Chinese Academy of Sciences and The Royal Society in the 1960s and 1970s reflected the unremitting efforts made by the foreign ministries and the managers of the two institutions to carry out scientific and technological exchanges between China and Britain and also the decisive role played by political and diplomatic factors.
