Training Workshop in Guangzhou
As part of the educational "ACCENT FAR EAST" activity (www.accent-network.org), a training workshop was organised jointly between Shixiao Yu (Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou), Eva Schuepbach (University of Berne) and Peter Brimblecombe (University of East Anglia, Norwich) on "Changing Paradigms in Atmospheric Chemistry". The workshop was held in Guangzhou and was nested into a Summer School on Biodiversity, funded by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China and the National Natural Science Foundation of China. It hosted about 140 postgraduate students from 40 Chinese universities, focused on primary and secondary pollutants with respect to health and policy issues and training in transferrabel skills (e.g., science communication, interdisciplinary disagreement). swissnex Shanghai's Vice Director and expert for R&D and professional education, Claudio R. Boër, joined the workshop and visited the Dongguang Meterological Bureau. Most useful contacts are the result of this event which aimed to bridge Swiss, European and Chinese students and scientists.
