President and Vice-Chancellor of QUB Prof Sir Peter Gregson: we have surpassed the

founding ambition of the Science Bridge project. Together we have created the research

environment for China to develop its energy and infrastructure in a sustainable manner

that has allowed the economy to flourish. In turn we in the UK have been able to

establish lasting academic partnerships and business opportunities founded in the

sharing of technological innovation, knowledge and expertise.

Dr. Alicia Greated, Director of Research Councils UK (RCUK) China: The Science

Bridge forum 'was excellent, extremely well organised and the turnout was great. '

Prof. JiJun Xing, Deputy Director of General of CSTEC from Ministry of Science and

Technology of China: Science Bridge projects „have made many remarkable

achievements, 'the forum has covered broad spectrum of elements, showing the fruitful

collaborative outcomes, and further demonstrating that the Science Bridge is the

highlight of the UK-China Science and Technology collaborations in recent years. It all

relies on the hard work of all science bridge partners

Prof. Zhaotian Zhang, Deputy Director of Department of Information Sciences from

National Natural Science Foundation of China: During the last three years, by the

scientific research workers joint efforts, “Science Bridge” has established several joint
