Press Releases: U.S.-China Young Scientist Forum 10/17/2014 03:32 PM EDT U.S.-China Young Scientist Forum Media Note Office of the Spokesperson Washington, DC October 17, 2014 On October 15, 10 science professionals focusing on disaster management from Chinese research and policy institutions met with 10 American counterparts at the U.S. Department of State in Washington for the Seventh U.S.-China Young Scientist Forum (YSF). Collaboration in science and technology is an important and dynamic area of the U.S.-China bilateral relationship, dating back to the 1979 U.S.-China Science and Technology Cooperation Agreement, which was one of the first bilateral agreements between the United States and China. As the landscape of science continues to become more global, the U.S.-China Consultation on People-to-People Exchange (CPE) science and technology working group helps young scientists in both countries to develop skills for successful international collaboration, providing a means to productively engage international colleagues to solve the world’s most pressing problems. The forum was co-led by Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Science, Space, and Health Jonathan Margolis and Chinese Counselor for Science and Technology Mei Jianping. The U.S. and Chinese disaster management scientists exchanged views on challenges and opportunities for building international networks and research collaborations, managing work-life balance issues, and conveying scientific findings to policy makers. The forum is an outcome of the science and technology working group of the CPE. The CPE aims to enhance people-to-people exchanges between the citizens of the United States and China in education, culture, sports, women’s issues, health, and science and technology. The 10 Chinese science professionals will meet with additional counterparts in Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and the San Francisco Bay area through the State Department’s International Visitor Leadership Program, administered through the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
