Dr Sabu Padmadas, Southampton Statistical Sciences Research Institute commented
"The projects envisaged under the Innovation China-UK provide ample opportunities to both the UK and Chinese researchers to exploit the commercial and social benefits of academic research. It is hoped that this timely initiative will lay a strong foundation for scientific collaboration and further strengthen the existing bilateral research partnerships between two countries."
