Announcement: Call for Abstracts


1. UK-CARE and the Annual General Meeting (AGM)

The UK China Association of Resources and Environment (UK-CARE), founded in 2000, is a non-profit international organisation. It aims to promote the international collaborations to realise the sustainable development and management of the resources and environment. Its long-term mission is to provide a platform to promote the collaboration between universities, research institutes and companies in the UK and China, to realise the sustainable development and management of environment and resources in the countries. China has enjoyed a rapid economic growth over the last 30 years, and past experience and recent Government's strategic announcement in developing western parts of the country have indicated environmental protections will play an important role in a sustainable development of China's economy. Links between UK and China in environment areas are developing at a fast pace, particularly in Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces thanks to the Chunhui scheme of the Ministry of Education, China. The UK-CARE was established to further strengthen these links. The UK-CARE has participated in several environmental projects in Chongqing and Kunming, and four research proposals are currently in consideration for financial support from Yunnan Science and Technology Department. More detailed information can be found on the official website at https://www.uk-care.org/. The 18th AGM in Oct 2018 is now calling for abstract.
