Max Planck Society and Chinese Academy of Sciences Establish Partner Group at USTC

Max Planck Society (MPG) and CAS have recently decided to set up a partner group at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), which is located in Hefei, capital of east China's Anhui Province.

Headed by Prof. Yu Shuhong, the group will conduct research into nanometer discreteness materials, biomimetic synthesis and other multidisciplinary issues over the next five years, in cooperation with Prof. Markus Antonietti, director of the MPG Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, and Dr. Helmut Cölfen, head of the ultracentrifuge laboratory at the MPG institute. Prof. Yu worked at MPG Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in 2001 and 2002 as a von Humboldt scholar.

To promote network building between outstanding young researchers in CAS and MPG, a total of 11 partner groups have been established at CAS institutes. All the group leaders are scientists who have returned to China after working at an MPG institute as a fellowship holder. Within a fixed period of up to five years, they will be supported to continue and develop research partnership with their corresponding partners at MPG institutes.
