Nottingham Signs Partnership Agreement with Chinese Pharma Giant
Sep 03 2014
The University of Nottingham has signed a wide-reaching memorandum of understanding with China Resources Pharmaceutical Group (CRPG) in Beijing, which will see close collaboration between the two organisations in a range of areas.
Under the agreement, which was coordinated by the University’s Asia Business Centre, CRPG will partner with Nottingham in a number of ways, including training, staff exchanges, student internships and research and development.
In addition, CRPG has built a pharmaceutical industrial park in Beijing which has been funded by the Chinese government. The company will work with the University to develop this park by learning from the BioCity model, a Nottingham based bioscience incubation centre of which the University is a co-founder.
Speaking at the signing, Professor Chris Rudd, Pro-Vice Chancellor for External Engagement at the University, said: “We are very excited to be expanding our links with CPRG. The company is one of the biggest pharmaceutical manufacturers in China, and this agreement will see many of our staff and students working with CPRG on a range of new projects and initiatives.”
Last year, Madam Jisheng Chen, the General Manager of CRPG, received an honorary professorship from Nottingham University Business School in recognition of her outstanding achievements in the field of healthcare and pharmaceutical industry.
