4. Promoting international collaboration
on clean technology
In November 2007, the MOST and National Development
and Reform Commission (NDRC) jointly launched the
International Science and Technology Cooperation Program
(Cooperation Program) on New and Renewable Energy. The
program’s goals are twofold: diversifying the sources of
technology imports, and expediting technology transfer
processes between China and other countries. The program
has identified five priority technologies for international
collaboration (Table 5).
