EU-China Development & Research Centre

 

The EU-China Development & Research Centre (DRC), based at The Business School, was officially launched in Beijing in October 2003. Since then, the DRC has built up a network of research associates in universities and organisations across China.

 

The DRC has been designed to facilitate:

 

  • Provision of research services to the business community and public sector agencies in China
  • Provision of academic expertise to current and planned research projects based in academic institutions in China
  • Provision of consultancy services and advice to private and public sector organisations in China 
  • Provision of relevant contact information for economic cooperation between the EU and China
  • Development of a Network of Partner Universities and other Organisations to facilitate joint research and joint funding initiatives.

 

The China-EU DRC encourages academic and professional staff to exchange knowledge in research, teaching and curriculum design through academic exchange.

 

The DRC is involved in a number of one-off and ongoing projects, many of which are collaborative between Scotland and China.
