Dear Working Group members,

During their visit in Shanghai, Florent and Philippe would like to take this opportunity to meet the Chamber R&D Working Group members to discuss mainly future European Union-China research and innovation cooperation under Horizon Europe, the upcoming European Union RI Framework Programme.
This discussion will take place in the context of the joint European Union-China roadmap for research and innovation cooperation to be prepared at the end of 2019. It will include 2 main chapters: future priorities areas for cooperation under the next European Union Framework Programme Horizon Europe and the framework conditions. The meeting would rather refer to the second part, i.e. framework conditions, but we will be more than pleased to hear also the Group's views on future thematic priorities. Linked to this, they would also like to listen to your view on MIC2025 as well as the support provided (or not) to European Union start-ups that are coming to China.
Should you interested to come and join this discussion with the officials from the European Commission, please do not hesitate to liaise with Ms. Tiantian Qi at tqi@europeanchamber.com.cn before 10 September.
