This study is one of the few studies concerning scientific research groups in China. In 2018, our research team surveyed the public-oriented science communication activities of 601scientific research groups in China using questionnaires. The survey shows that Chinese scientific research groups are active in promoting science to the public, and that related work structure and guarantee mechanisms have been established and have already produced some social benefits. However, there remain challenges, including limited channels for science communication, insufficient collaboration among the participants in the communication process and unbalanced investment. Based on an analysis of the survey results, we put forward several suggestions on how to encourage scientific research groups of universities and research institutions to engage in public-oriented science communication activities.展开更多

With the approval of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the German Ministry of Science & Education, this year will see the establishment of another MPG junior research group at the Kunming Institute of Zoology (KIZ). The institute has been seeking all over the world for a scientist to head the group. The first such group was set up at the KIZ in 2001, with Dr. Wang Wen from the University of Chicago as its head. ……展开更多

The research interest of the group is currently focused on the dynamical behaviors of various nonlinear systems, with the subjects investigated ranging from classical to quantum systems, from low dimensional to spatiotemporal systems.展开更多
