The second joint seed funding call from the two institutions will launch seven new projects led by 鶹ýƵվ and Zhejiang University (ZJU) academics
Following a firstjointcall for collaborative projects last year, 鶹ýƵվ and ZJU have awardedseven new projects up to £10,000 each underthe2021/22 round of the 鶹ýƵվ-ZJU Strategic Partner Funds.
The projects, each jointly led by a 鶹ýƵվ and ZJU academic, will explore a wide range of subjects including AI in collaborative learning, reinterpreting the Liangzhu culture andintelligent drug delivery.
One of the funding recipients, Dr Jie Huang (鶹ýƵվ Engineering Sciences), said: "We’re delighted to be awarded a鶹ýƵվ-ZJU Strategic Partner Fund. This is a great initiative to strengthen the international research collaborations between two leading universities. Our project brings the research groups ofMaterials Engineering and Pharmacy togethertodevelopadvanced smart nanomaterials for an “intelligent” drug delivery. This seed fund will help to build a strong team pioneering in personalised therapy for 21stcentury healthcare,and lead collaborative research in Nanomedicine and Advanced Materials Processing in this post-pandemic world."
鶹ýƵվ and ZJU have been working in close partnership for several years. Last year, 鶹ýƵվ President & Provost Dr Michael Spence was among a host of global university leaders to sign a joint statement reaffirming collective commitment to the UN’s 2030 Agenda at a virtual forum hosted by ZJU.
