UKJS2020 Technology Transformation Centre
A Technology Transformation Centre was proposed to be established within the Jiangsu University Research Institute in the Park and will be led by Jiangsu University (JSU), so that Changzhou Science Park can work with all UK partners via JSU. JSU Research Institute will conduct the operation with staff. It was agreed that the partnership will be policy supported by JPDE then financially supported by Changzhou Science Park to cover staff cost, international flights and conferences.
