Helmholtz-CAS Joint Research Groups (HCJRG)

In 2012 China and Germany celebrate 40 years of diplomatic relations. Between the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and many Helmholtz Research Centres there has been very successful scientific cooperation since the end of 1970s.

Both Helmholtz and CAS see each other as strategic partners sharing many joint research interests.  In August 2011 the president of the Helmholtz Association Professor Jürgen Mlynek, and the CAS president Professor BAI Chunli signed an agreement to establish 5 Helmholtz-CAS Joint-Research Groups (HCJRG).
