On August 16th, 2010, Seminar on Sino-British Nano Structure and Advanced Materials, which was jointly organized by FCO/BIS Scientific Innovation web of Britain and Shanghai Advanced Research Institute (SARI) of Chinese Academy of Sciences, was held in JW Marriott Hotel Shanghai. Around 30 people attended the conference, including Prof. Paul Hogg from University of Manchester, Prof. GUO Zhengxiao, Vice President of University College London (UCL), Prof. LU Ke from Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Prof. CHE Shun’ai from Shanghai Jiaotong University.

Hosted by Prof GUO Zhengxiao, the seminar served as a platform to exchange ideas on the latest research achievements in terms of advanced materials and Nano structure. It will help to explore innovative production skills of Nano Structure materials featuring low cost, high efficiency, high liability, controllable and environment-friendly. In the meantime, it also helped to identify the problems and challenges in the practical application and to establish the sustainable cooperation between China and Britain. Related researchers from SARI attended the conference and took an active part in the discussion.
