The University of Nottingham is working with China’s leading agriculture university as its only UK strategic partner to develop joint research and study opportunities.
A senior delegation from China's Agricultural University visited the University of Nottingham to sign a strategic partnership agreement to set up a joint research centre in areas including crop science, bioenergy, and nutrition.
Dr Richard Masterman, director of research and graduate services at the University of Nottingham, said: “This is an exciting and opportune development for both universities that puts us in a strong position to tackle together major global challenges related to food security and health.
'Through the new Emerging Powers Fund, the UK Government has made a strong commitment to internationalisation in Higher Education, and we believe our strategic partnership can be a valuable contribution to this commitment.”
