Under the Researcher Links scheme offered within the Newton Fund, the British Council and the National Science Foundation of China (NSFC) will be holding a Bilateral Workshop on Mental Health Technologies in Jinan China on Sept 7-9 2018. This workshop aims to bring together leading clinicians, academics, young researchers, and other stakeholders together to discuss the challenges in mental health care, share their latest research, and facilitate collaborations to address the growing need to improve the care of mental illnesses in China and the UK. The workshop is being coordinated by Dr Benny Lo of Imperial College London and Dr Yuan Zhang of the University of Jinan, and will have contributions from other leading researchers. We are now inviting Early Career Researchers from the UK and China to apply to attend this workshop.

This bilateral workshop will target early career researchers/academics based in China and the UK (with less than 10 years of experience since completion of PhD) in the field of biomedical engineering, data science, computer science, machine learning psychology, psychiatry and bioinformatics. During the workshops attendees will have the opportunity to present their research in the form of a poster/short oral presentation and discuss this with established researchers from partner countries. There will be a focus on building up links for future collaborations and participants selected on the basis of their research potential and ability to build longer term links. Therefore the workshop will provide a unique opportunity for sharing research expertise and networking.

Given the limited budget, we are aiming to provide funding to support up to 17 early career researchers from the UK to travel to China and attend this workshop. The application form and a research paper shall be submitted on or before May 31, 2018 (17:00 GMT).
