Tianjin conference breeds scientific exchange

While top scientists from developing countries attend the General Meeting of the Academy of Sciences for the Developing World in Tianjin, scientific exchanges are in full swing outside the conference room.

For example, 15 scientists and government officials from a number of countries, including Tanzania, Kenya and Egypt, attend a workshop on water quality monitoring in Nanjing, discussing ecosystem management experiences that could be replicated from China to Africa.

This is only a small part of the workshops sponsored by China.
