THE 1st 
CONFERENCE
OF THE SINO-FINNISH ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH CENTRE 
ON
 
CHALLENGES 
OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND MANAGEMENT
 
Background 
information:
In 
the field of environmental and related sciences, Nanjing University (China), 
University of Joensuu and University of Kuopio (Finland) have established good 
mutual relationships in research and education. To enhance the existing 
international collaboration, a “Sino-Finnish Environmental Research Centre 
(SFERC)” was launched. 
The 
overall goals of the SFERC are to promote and facilitate research and education 
in the area of environmental and related sciences. Furthermore the goal is to 
implement multi-disciplinary research projects, exchange scientific information, 
and provide students and young scientists with international education and 
training opportunities. The SFERC, established by the Parties together, will be 
a platform for scientists from both countries to conduct interdisciplinary joint 
research and training, and will serve as an international scientific forum in 
the area of current environmental topics as well as for long-term scientific 
research. Our objective is to make the SFERC a globally recognized centre of 
excellence in environmental research and in post-graduate 
education.
To 
celebrate the establishment of the SFERC, the 1st conference on CHALLENGES OF 
ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND MANAGEMENT will be held on May 17th to 
21st at Nanjing University.
