Asia-Pacific Activities

Asia Pacific

China

For over 10 years, CIMNE has been collaborating with research organizations, universities and companies in the People’s Republic of China in a number of fruitful cooperation agreements, RTD projects and some educational activities.

CIMNE has strong links with the most renowned scientific institutions in China, such as Peking University, Tsinghua University and several research centres of the Chinese Academy of Sciences or the Chinese Aeronautical Establishment.

Supported by the 6th and 7th Framework Programme and the Horizon 2020 of the European Union, CIMNE has carried out the coordination on the European side of a series of projects aimed at promoting joint EU-China research in aeronautics. CIMNE also participates in research projects in areas of risk assessment of natural disasters.
The most relevant activities with China in 2019 have been:
