European Scientific Diaspora in China
One of the tasks of EURAXESS China is to support European researchers coming to and staying in China. We do than by connecting them with each other and with the European Research Area here in China.
Since 2015 EURAXESS China has been partner to member states' scientific diaspora networks supporting them in various ways, and from 2021 EURAXESS China has overseen and facilitated the establishment of pan-European thematic networks of European researchers in China.
Representatives of each group works together on events and joint activities under the auspices of EURAXESS China through the Platform for European Researchers' Networks in China (PERC).
PERC
Platform for European Researchers' Networks in China
PERC is a platform to bring together representatives from all European researchers networks in China.
PERC meets online quarterly and has since the establishment of the platform in early 2020.
The purpose of the platform is to bring together representatives of all active European researchers networks and groups in China to give them opportunity to share their experience and to propose and discuss ad-hoc joint activitites.
PERC has been instrumental in the organization of Forum for European Researchers in China and the establishment of Thematic Networks of European Researchers in China.
Since April 2021 EURAXESS China has been holding special PERCeption meetings that brings together European researchers based in China in an informal settings to network and discuss topics related to PERC.
National Networks
Member States' Scientific Diaspora Networks
Researchers from several member states of the European Union have organized formal and informal national networks and associations.
