This workshop was designed by the University of Sheffield and the
University of Shandong. The workshop was held in Jinan, China, on the
16th and 17th November. 30 delegates from around China gathered to hear
talks by academics from Shandong and Tianjin universities. Professors
Simon Dixon, John Brazier and Dr Praveen Thokala gave presentation
online. The event was led by Professor Sun Qiang from Shandong
University.
The partnership aims to create long-term, sustainable collaboration in health economics, which will give UK and Chinese academics the means to work together on world-class educational and research outcomes that would otherwise not be possible working in isolation.
The workshops are part of the UK-China Health and Economy Partnership, which is a collaboration between leading Chinese and UK universities. The UK-China Health and Economy Partnership is a novel knowledge transfer partnership that will promote long-term collaboration between Bournemouth University, University of York, University of Sheffield and University of Leeds in the UK and Fudan University, Shandong University and Zhejiang University in China.
The Partnership is funded by GSK and the British Council.
