埃文斯访华：澳中纳米科学联合实验室成立

澳大利亚高等教育部长克里斯•埃文斯参议员（Senator Chris Evans）对澳中签署国际协议进一步开展纳米科学研究表示欢迎。

澳中纳米科学联合实验室将根据澳大利亚科技大学联盟（ATN）与国际战略技术联盟（ISTA）中的中国高校之间当前的备忘录而建立的。

“我欢迎这一重要协议的签署，它将进一步扩大澳大利亚大学与发展迅速的中国研究部门之间的联系并创造更多的机会，”埃文斯参议员说。

近年来，在澳中纳米网络的支持下，澳大利亚科技大学联盟（ATN）与中国重点大学建立了关系。该联合实验室就将基于这种关系而建立，通过覆盖全澳的澳大利亚科技大学联盟（ATN）这一平台，推动澳中研发合作向新的广度和深度发展。

举例来说，在该实验室进行的研究将推动癌症的诊断和治疗；通过开发生物微胶囊、磁性粒子和无机氧化物薄膜等新纳米材料，能够更有效地净化处理饮用水和废水。

这是澳中科研机构在携手合作下共同开展前沿研究的绝好例证。

这项协议的签订还将为澳大利亚的研究人员和博士研究生提供重要的合作机会。

“我很高兴澳大利亚大学正与中国的同行建立往来，建设其研究和研究培训能力并加强彼此之间的国际联系，”埃文斯参议员说。

Joint Australia – China Laboratory on Nanoscience established

An international agreement between Australia and China to further nanoscience research has been welcomed by the Minister for Tertiary Education, Senator Chris Evans.

The Australia – China Joint Laboratory on Nanoscience will be established under the current MOU between the Australian Technology Network of Universities (ATN) and the International Strategic Technology Alliance (ISTA) of Chinese universities.

“I welcome the signing of this important agreement that will create further linkages and opportunities for Australian universities to engage with the rapidly expanding Chinese research sector,” Senator Evans said.

The joint laboratory will build on relationships established over recent years between the ATN and key Chinese universities under the auspices of the Australia – China NanoNetwork. It will bring a new dimension to Australian – China research and development collaborations via the nationwide ATN platform.

Research undertaken at this centre will, for example, lead to enhanced diagnosis and treatment of cancer and more effective purification and treatment of potable and waste waters through the development of new nanomaterials, such as biocapsules, magnetic particles and inorganic oxide membranes.

This is a great example of the kind of cutting edge research that can be undertaken when Australian and Chinese organisation work together.

The agreement will also offer significant partnering opportunities for Australian researchers and PhD students.

“I am very pleased that Australian universities are engaging with their Chinese counterparts to build research and research training capacity, increasing their international linkages.”
