The Institute of Urban Environment (IUE) at the Chinese Academy of Sciences visits the Netherlands to strengthen the personal and scientific partnership (10th June 2025)
Researchers from IUE involved in the FOREWARD project visited the Netherlands for five days in early June. Meetings took place at the Institute of Environmental Sciences (CML) at Leiden University and within the Earth Systems and Global Change group at Wageningen University.
These sessions provided an opportunity to share detailed updates on scientific progress and to plan upcoming collaborations related to nutrient pollution and innovative wastewater management systems. A joint team from CML and IUE also visited “The Green Village,” a living laboratory for sustainable and environmentally conscious urban design, as well as the Industrial Design Department at TU Delft.
Cultural visits and social activities further strengthened interpersonal connections among the researchers. These interactions reinforce the professional and scientific partnership between the institutes and support the broader global ambitions of the research.
