The New Trends and Developments of China-EU Scientific and Technological Innovation Cooperation

Abstract

Building an innovative country is a core element of the modernized economic system in China, which will provide a new opportunity for the deepening of relations between China and the world's innovative countries. The relation between China and European countries has been recently intensified and the cooperation in the field of scientific and technological innovation tends to be diversified, innovative and forward-looking. This paper analyzes the new trends and developments from three different perspectives: first, ST and innovation cooperation between China and the EU under the Horizon 2020. The second, the SinoBritish science and technology cooperation and the related innovative partnership, and, third, the innovative strategic partnership between China and Switzerland. These three cooperation models present a new direction of science and technology innovation development between China and European countries. They may lay basis for upgrading the “China-EU comprehensive strategic partnership” into the “China-EU innovative comprehensively strategy partnership” in the future.
