Three CAS chemists received the CAS-Bayer Young Chinese Scientists Awards from Dr. Juergen Dahmer, president of the Bayer Group in Greater China, on Dec. 6 in Beijing.
The awardees were Prof. LIU Weimin from the CAS Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, Dr. LI Yuesheng from the CAS Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry and Dr. YANG Zhenzhong from the CAS Institute of Chemistry.
While Bayer conducts research at its own labs, we need exchanges and cooperation with research centers across the world, says Dr. Juergen Dahmer. "I believe our collaboration with such a renowned research institution as CAS is mutually beneficial."
CAS attaches importance to cooperation with multinationals and high-tech firms, says GUO Huadong, Deputy Secretary-General of CAS. Through the cooperation, Chinese researchers will learn a lot on advanced S&T management and technology transfer.
Under the Agreement on Scientific and Technical Cooperation between the Bayer Group and CAS, a CAS-Bayer Start-up Fund and a CAS Bayer Young Chinese Scientists Award were established in 2001 to promote cooperative research work with institutes under the CAS and to support outstanding scientists.
