SHANGHAI, May 12 (Xinhua) -- International academic publisher Springer Nature has recently signed a letter of intent for cooperation with Fudan University in Shanghai, aiming to establish a long-term cooperation mechanism and strengthen cooperation in multiple fields.
Marc Spenlé, chief operating officer of Springer Nature Group, said the partnership represents another milestone in Springer Nature's increased effort to facilitate China's international research collaboration.
Springer Nature will provide more high-quality services in support of Fudan University's pursuit of research excellence and expects to see in-depth and extensive cooperation between the two parties in different fields, he said.
The cooperation covers fields including research capacity building, the growth of early-career scientists, and the study of international scientific research trends.
"Shanghai is not just a commercial hub, it is a hub for innovation," he said. Springer Nature opened an office in Shanghai some 12 years ago before its expansion into other Chinese cities.
On Tuesday, Springer Nature also signed a letter of intent for cooperation with the Zhejiang Association for Science and Technology and Wenzhou City, in support of the World Young Scientists Summit hosted by Wenzhou to enable early career scientists from China and the rest of the world to collaborate and thrive together.
China has made immense progress in innovation and contributed excellent scientific findings, said Spenlé. In the Global Innovation Hubs Index, China had three cities or regions ranked among the global top 10.
