This document summarizes the UK-China Science Bridge Project between Queen's University Belfast (QUB) and universities in China. The £2.3 million project aims to accelerate research deployment, deepen research links between the universities, and contribute to wealth generation in both countries. Activities under the project include establishing two joint laboratories, exchanging students and staff, organizing conferences, and pursuing joint research projects and publications. The future plan is to strengthen collaborations with leading Chinese universities through talent exchange and internationalization, increase technology transfer through joint laboratories and projects, and add a Confucius Institute to broaden collaborations and impact.
