Opportunities for collaborations between the UK institutions and China institutions - 中英大学所带来的机遇

报告摘要：This talk will first introduce the concept of intelligent manufacturing, then discusses the global trend in manufacturing, further on discusses the strategies of the world manufacturing powers with the highlighting on UK manufacturing strategies (UK manufacturing 2050) and the Germany Industry 4.0. The talk further discusses challenges faced by the Chinese industry sector and China manufacturing 2025. Then the results from the several EU collaborated projects will be used as an example to describe the current trend. The final part of the talk looks at the potential collaboration between the UK institutions and China institutions.
