  • 1.  Seeking University Connections in Shanghai

    Posted 26-11-2025 10:12

    Dear Members,

    Do any of our community members have connections with universities in Shanghai?

    We are exploring the possibility of holding the ICQ Global Chemistry Educators Program at a university in Shanghai in July 2026, rather than at a local high school. The primary reason is to give students the chance to experience chemistry in a university laboratory setting, as high school labs in the region are often not as well equipped as those in Australia.

    If you have links to universities in Shanghai, or know someone who does, and would be willing to connect me with them, I would be extremely grateful.

    Please feel free to reach out to me directly at education1@raci.org.au if you would like to discuss further. Thank you so much for your assistance.

    Warm regards,
    Hannah

    Perhaps Prof. @Martin Banwell might have some local contacts?

    Dear Hannah,

    You might want to contact Professor Dawei Ma of the SIOC (and mention my name for what that might be worth). Professor Ma is a very busy guy but may have younger colleagues he can connect you with so as to help in your request.

    Contact and other details provided in the highlighted sections of the attached scientific publication.

    Good luck.

    Martin Banwell

    Shanghai University and UTS have a strong relationship, dating back to 1994.  I have joint appointments at both places (now centre director in Shanghai and honorary at UTS).  Shanghai Uni would be keen to pursue programmes such as this.

    Hi Jeff, would you be open to meeting with me to discuss the program and see if there's any scope for the program to be hosted at Shanghai University next year? I'll follow up via email next week if that's ok? Many thanks, Hannah
