The UK Research and Innovation China office was established in 2007 (formerly RCUK China), and is based at the British Embassy in Beijing. It plays a key role in enhancing the UK-China relationship in research and innovation. 2022 will mark the 15th anniversary of our office.

This portfolio covers a diverse range of sectors including environment and climate change, ageing and health, sustainable and renewable technologies, food security, fundamental sciences and urbanisation and infrastructure.
