Think tank eyes bigger advisory role

Experts from Chinese Academy of Sciences seek to further guide major public policy

An organization with six decades of history and a diverse brain trust of experts charged with developing solutions to public policy challenges is reforming itself in an effort to meet China's most pressing needs.

The Academic Divisions of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have served as an advanced national think tank for the Chinese government on major science and technology issues. Now they are working to better integrate their resources and intelligence, build their brand and further influence public policy.
