NSTDA and CAS have established a long-term collaboration in the fields of Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI). The collaboration has taken various forms including scientific forums, joint research activities, network meetings, and joint labs. In 2018, NSTDA and CAS launched NSTDA-CAS Joint Funding Program (JFP), which has funded 13 projects in the areas of biodiversity, biotechnology, agriculture, life sciences, materials science, information science and technology, AI & IoTs, and green technology (materials and energy).

This seminar aims to facilitate knowledge exchange between research teams from NSTDA and CAS. It seeks to share the results of collaborations, exchange experiences in joint research, and announce upcoming collaborative programs. The projects presented today are just a part of the projects under the CAS-NSTDA collaboration. These projects are currently at different stages: completed projects, ongoing projects, and upcoming projects. This allows the audience to gain insights into overall collaboration and foster opportunities for future cooperation.
