STINT is continuing its promotion of academic cooperation with China and increased understanding of Chinese knowledge systems. Dr Tommy Shih, associate professor at Lund University, has therefore been recruited as STINT\u2019s China Policy Advisor and Programme Manager, while Dr Erik Forsberg, associate professor at Zhejiang University, has been appointed STINT\u2019s representative in China.<\/b><\/p>\n

Since 2013, they have been working in a number of projects related to China\u2019s higher education and research systems. Dr Shih has particularly focused on interaction between universities, companies and public-sector actors. Dr Forsberg has long experience of developing and managing international university partnerships and has been working in China for almost ten years.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur new staff members\u2019 long and thorough experience of both the Swedish and the Chinese research and higher education systems adds to our competence and presence in China, with the aim of enhancing Swedish trend analysis in the area,\u201d says Dr Andreas G\u00f6thenberg, STINT\u2019s Executive Director.<\/p>\n

Higher education and research have developed rapidly in China. Today the country has the second highest research production in the world, after the USA. This development will lead to more Swedish university partnerships with China, with the aim of advancing Swedish research and higher education. This will require improved Swedish capacity to take a broad view on how Chinese developments also affect the Swedish research and education systems and how strategic partnerships can be created.<\/p>\n

STINT aims to promote internationalisation, while cooperation with China has gained importance. Against this backdrop, taking a clear role as a knowledge node in the Swedish system regarding higher education and research in China is in line with current strategies. The aim of this initiative is to provide support that can enhance Swedish higher education institutions\u2019 strategies, activities and networks in relation to China, by providing knowledge and skills to Swedish higher education institutions and research funding bodies regarding China\u2019s higher education and research development.<\/p>\n

Activities in China will take place in close partnership with the Swedish Consulate General in Shanghai and the Embassy in Beijing, as well as Swedish higher education institutions and research funding bodies.<\/p>\n

Since 2015, STINT has provided the largest programme for research cooperation between Sweden and China. The programme, which is co-funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), supports 75 three-year research projects between the countries and is STINT\u2019s largest single programme.<\/p>\n

An annual call is open for applications between July and September<\/a>.<\/a><\/p>\n

STINT satsar p\u00e5 att ytterligare fr\u00e4mja akademiska samarbeten med Kina och att \u00f6ka f\u00f6rst\u00e5elsen f\u00f6r det kinesiska kunskapssystemet. D\u00e4rf\u00f6r har Tommy Shih, docent vid Lunds universitet, rekryterats som Kina-ansvarig. Samtidigt har Erik Forsberg, associate professor vid Zhejiang universitetet, anlitats som STINTs representant i Kina.<\/strong><\/p>

De har sedan 2013 arbetat i ett flertal projekt relaterade till Kinas h\u00f6gre utbildnings- och forskningssystem. Shih har framf\u00f6rallt fokuserat p\u00e5 interaktionen mellan universitet, f\u00f6retag och statliga akt\u00f6rer. Forsberg har m\u00e5ng\u00e5rig erfarenhet av att utveckla och driva internationella universitetssamarbeten och har arbetat i Kina i n\u00e4rmare tio \u00e5r.<\/p>

- Med v\u00e5ra nya medarbetares gedigna och m\u00e5ng\u00e5riga erfarenheter av b\u00e5de det svenska och kinesiska forsknings- och h\u00f6gre utbildningssystemet st\u00e4rks v\u00e5r kompetens och n\u00e4rvaro i Kina med avsikt att ocks\u00e5 st\u00e4rka svensk omv\u00e4rldsbevakning inom omr\u00e5det, s\u00e4ger Andreas G\u00f6thenberg, vd f\u00f6r STINT.<\/p>

Utvecklingen inom h\u00f6gre utbildning och forskning har g\u00e5tt mycket snabbt i Kina. Idag st\u00e5r landet f\u00f6r den n\u00e4st st\u00f6rsta forskningsproduktionen i v\u00e4rlden efter USA. Utvecklingen kommer leda till \u00e4n fler svenska universitetssamarbeten med Kina i syfte att st\u00e4rka svensk forskning och h\u00f6gre utbildning. Detta kommer kr\u00e4va en st\u00f6rre kapacitet fr\u00e5n Sveriges sida f\u00f6r att f\u00f6rst\u00e5 hur utvecklingen i Kina i ett st\u00f6rre perspektiv p\u00e5verkar det svenska forsknings- och utbildningssystemet och hur strategiska samarbeten kan skapas.<\/p>

Med bakgrund i STINTs \u00e4ndam\u00e5l att fr\u00e4mja internationalisering och den \u00f6kande vikten av att samarbeta med Kina \u00e4r det i linje med senaste strategi att ta en tydlig roll som kunskapsnod i det svenska kunskapssystemet avseende h\u00f6gre utbildning och forskning i Kina. M\u00e5let f\u00f6r satsningen \u00e4r att ge st\u00f6d till att st\u00e4rka svenska l\u00e4ros\u00e4tens strategier, aktiviteter och n\u00e4tverk avseende Kina genom att bidra med kunskap och kompetens till svenska l\u00e4ros\u00e4ten och forskningsfinansi\u00e4rer om Kinas utveckling inom h\u00f6gre utbildning och forskning.<\/p>

Verksamheten i Kina kommer ske i n\u00e4ra samarbete med Sveriges Generalkonsulat i Shanghai och Ambassad i Peking, samt svenska l\u00e4ros\u00e4ten och forskningsfinansi\u00e4rer.<\/p>

STINT har sedan 2015 det st\u00f6rsta programmet f\u00f6r forskningssamarbeten mellan Sverige och Kina. Programmet som \u00e4r samfinansierat med kinesiska forskningsfinansi\u00e4ren National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) st\u00f6djer 75 stycken tre\u00e5riga forskningsprojekt mellan l\u00e4nderna och \u00e4r STINTs st\u00f6rsta enskilda program. En utlysning g\u00f6rs \u00e5rligen under perioden juli-september.<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[52,46,53],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4475","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-china-news","category-news","category-stint-in-china"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stint.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4475","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stint.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stint.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stint.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stint.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4475"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.stint.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4475\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5892,"href":"https:\/\/www.stint.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4475\/revisions\/5892"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stint.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4121"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stint.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4475"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stint.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4475"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stint.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4475"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
