Associations held various academic activities, organized and funded scientific research, which played an important role in promoting the progress of science and technology and the development of industrial society. Based on case study on British Association for the Advancement of Science and Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society by academic circles at home and abroad, development situation of British science and technology associations in the middle and late 19^(th) century is summarized, and a series of activities of associations participating in industrial and agricultural development and environmental health reform are systematically sorted out, while the promoting role of science and technology associations in the social development of Britain in the 19^(th) century is explored.展开更多

Beginning with the personal engagement of some of the most prominent innovators in both countries in the 1930 s through the 1970 s, it was realized that China was building on millennia of leadership in innovation, while Canada was in the forefront of Western advances in key areas of research. As China began to open up to the West in the late 1970 s, Canada’s development agencies focused on helping China build capacity. University collaborations have also been strong, facilitated by the large Chinese diaspora in the Canadian research community. Canadian companies have had long-standing relations in China, and start-up incubators and accelerators in both countries have linkages with their counterparts. Over the years, Canadian and Chinese governments have deepened their S&T engagement, with an Agreement for Science and Technology Collaboration signed in 2007, and the Canada-China Joint Committee on S&T(CCJC) established to guide joint initiatives including a funded program for collaborative research. The most recent events were the inaugural meeting of the Sino-Canadian Innovation Dialogue held on October 29, 2018 and the CCJC meeting on October 30, 2018. The future is bright for continuing collaboration in the coming decades.展开更多
文摘Science and Technology Park, which plays a very important role in promoting rapid development of regional economy, has enjoyed various preferential policies in its unique development since China’s reform and opening up, which oppositely shows that the government has overlooked development outside the park and resulted in negative competition between the science and technology park and surrounding areas in resources and industry development, etc. Therefore, it is necessary and urgent to overcome the existing obstacles against coordinative development between the park and surrounding areas, to explore paths where the two can development coordinately and to achieve new breakthrough and innovation in coordinative development in subject, object, platform and mechanism.
