The 18th UK-CARE AGM @ Cambridge

中英资源与环境协会第十八届年会于剑桥圆满召开

超过70人注册参会，近10人慕名临时参会。3位外国友人到场，其中一位进行了海报演讲。从主席致辞、驻英中国大使馆教育处致辞、专题学术报告、学生演讲、海报展示，到茶歇、午餐时的自由交流，每个环节无不出彩。最后颁发最佳学生报告奖与荣誉奖，年会圆满收官。这是一场学术交流，一次创造合作的绝佳机会，更是一场老友聚，一次在英环境研究领域华人的盛宴！难忘剑桥相聚，期待明年再会！

The 18th UK-CARE Annual General Meeting held in Cambridge was very successful! More than 70 people registered and attended the AGM;

there were nearly 10 temporary participants.

One of three non-Chinese participants provided a poster presentation. Each session of the AGM went very well and smoothly.

This was an excellent opportunity for academic exchange,

developing potential collaborations, expanding the network in the areas of resources and environment between the UK and China.

While 18th UK-CARE AGM at Cambridge is memorable, we are expecting to meet you again next year at the UCL.

主席致辞 · Words from the Chair

Dear UK-CARE members,

A warm welcome to all the members to Cambridge. I am very glad to have over 70 attendees to join this year’s UK-CARE Annual General Meeting (AGM). We also want to give special welcome to the 26 delegates from the Jilin University, travelled from the mainland China to join our 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. Our association has been continuously growing up in the past 18 years owning to great efforts and contribution from all of you, the UK-CARE members, especially for the UK-CARE committee members and officers. It worth noting that the UK-CARE could not have gone this far without the important and continuous support from the Education Section of the Chinese Embassy in the UK.

It is my great honour to be elected as the new Chair of this extraordinary association. It is a rare privilege and a great responsibility. In the past year, the UK-CARE Office has been formed; the standardisation of our association has been improved; our new logo has been designed via a logo competition; our new website (https://www.uk-care.org/) has been developed; our new WeChat public platform (DearUKCARE) has been created; the ideas for the UK-China scientific collaborations have been collected; and more to come. I would like to take this opportunity to thanks those who have generously contributed to the development of the UK-CARE. I hope that more could join our UK-CARE Office to witness the bright future of our association.
