2ndUS-China Workshop

Background: About the Workshop Series • •



This workshop series was jointly launched by two agencies: the NSFC in China and the NSF in the US Purpose: Expand US-Chinese collaborations related to novel nanostructured materials and their applications in (1)advanced solar cells (2)environmental health/protection Enable Chinese and US researchers to work together to solve global energy and environmental challenges! 2ndUS-China Workshop

Background: Summary of the 1st Workshop

Goals of the first workshop 1. Identify potential research opportunities to address shared energy and environmental challenges facing the US and China. 2. Generate recommendations for addressing these challenges together, including potential jointly funded projects. 3. Establish active US-China working groups in these areas, as part of the Materials World Network.

2ndUS-China Workshop

Background: Participants of the 1st Workshop



More than 60 participants, including researchers, students and government observers from China and the US. • Five cross-cutting working groups – 2 on nanomaterials for advanced solar cells – 2 on nanomaterials and the environment – 1 on novel materials synthesis and characterization

2ndUS-China Workshop

Background: Outcomes of the 1st Workshop Conclusion: Solving global energy and environmental challenges will require transformative approaches and new levels of cooperation. Near-Term Recommendations • Launch joint research under the Materials World Network funding framework (thematic areas were identified and some projects were conceived) • Create a database of complementary expertise and resources in both countries. Improve cyberinfrastructure. • Increase student exchanges, longer visits, more opportunities for US students perform research in China. • Launch a university network; organize more US-China workshops. Long-Term Recommendation • Establish a jointly funded and operated US-China institute to provide a seamless, sustainable environment for long-term collaboration.

Goal of This Workshop • The goal of this second US-China Workshop is to develop specific plans for implementing the recommendations produced during the first workshop in: – – – –

collaborative research facilities sharing education, cyber-infrastructure development

• Six US–Chinese working groups have been formed 2ndUS-China Workshop

2ndUS-China Workshop

Deliverables of this Workshop 1. A consolidated list of thematic areas for collaborative research 2. A list of research facilities to be shared or jointly developed by US and Chinese partners. 3. A series of recommendations for improving education programs and capabilities at the graduate, postgraduate and public levels. 4. A series of desirable cyber-infrastructure capabilities to support collaborative research, education, and networking. This information will inform the establishment of joint funding programs by US and Chinese agencies. 2ndUS-China Workshop

2ndUS-China Workshop

New International Materials Institute (IMI) for Solar Energy Conversion A new solar energy institute has been established at Northwestern with funds from the National Science Foundation Technical Focus: Organic/inorganic photovoltaic cells Educational Focus: 1. Develop educational content for college, precollege and the public 2. Global leadership development for US and Chinese graduate students. Headquarters: Northwestern University (US) Core Partners: Tsinghua University (China), Louisiana State University and Argonne National Laboratory (US)

Dynamic Partnerships

NSF-MWN Collaborat

Coordinating Role: This IMI can help to facilitate and coordinate US-China research in the area of solar energy conversion, including many of the projects that may result from this workshop.
