Building links with China
This month, CEPAR sent a delegation to China to build links with selected research institutions including one of China's top universities, including Zhejiang and Tsinghua.
Led by John Piggott , the delegation included Elisabetta Magnani, Lu Bei and Rafal Chomik. The group participated in a range of activities including a two day workshop with PhD students and academics from Zhejiang. This was a significant event for CEPAR in working towards its goal of building capacity in the next generation of ageing researchers. Given the expected impact of the ageing population in Asia, especially China, it is important to build these research linkages that will provide the basis for future joint projects.
The trip also included a seminar at the Brookings-Tsinghua Centre for Public Policy on Ageing Populations and Pensions Systems and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. The feedback from participants was very positive.
The UNSW node of CEPAR has welcomed two Zhejiang PhD students whose visit here is an example of the strong beginnings of the early career research exchange program. We look forward to the flourishing of this program through continued dialogue with our Chinese counterparts as we work toward the development of cross national comparisons on the impact of population ageing.
