Topic: Recent Trends in European Approaches to Research Collaboration with China
Abstract: European countries and the People’s Republic of China have a long and solid history of academic exchange and collaboration. Recently, however, public debate about international scientific collaboration is becoming increasingly polarized. Although attitudes in the academic community on how to manage collaboration in the future are different from media and political statements, it also becomes clear that there are hardly any in-depth and systematic assessments of the differences and similarities in the expectations of the cooperating partners. The talk will summarize the main trends in recent European approaches to scientific cooperation with China and point to some new avenues of imagining cooperation between the two sides.

Topic: Intellectual Property Governance in Cyberspace
Abstract: Since a patent system was established in Venice city-state in 1474, human society has a history of protecting and using intellectual property rights for a few hundred years. However, with the rapid development of digital economy, production and recreation have expanded from physical space to cyberspace. In cyberspace, information spreads fast and innovation is easy to be copied; intellectual property infringement can cause great damage in a very short time; infringer is easy to hide and remove the evidence. Therefore, the traditional intellectual property system that has successfully protected great innovation in the era of industrial revolution can no longer meet all the needs of protecting innovation in the era of digital economy. In order to solve the problem of intellectual property governance in cyberspace, it is necessary to build an intellectual property governance system that integrates government governance system, market governance system and social governance system. We can rely on three means which include technological empowerment, institutional innovation and multiparty co-governance to achieve the effectiveness and efficiency of governance. In recent years, both Europe and China have set digital transformation as priority for future development. This presentation sheds some light in which areas Europe and China can collaborate and exchange to improve governance in cyberspace.
