The workshop serves as a platform for bilateral exchange and discussions on how to navigate mutual cooperation and sustain global science through uncertain times. It is a follow-up of the two-day workshop taking place in September 2022. The focus of this year's hybrid workshop is on possibilities and best practices of science for global impact. All members from Helmholtz and CAS may participate at the workshop online. The workshop will be followed by in-person only background discussions in Beijing on the challenges for mutually beneficial cooperation.
