VIRTUAL EVENT: The global geopolitics of science

This panel session will explore how the global geopolitics of science affect American universities in China as well as Chinese students in the US. 

The speakers will discuss what this mean for scientists from other countries, positioned at the edges of the two scientific superpowers that share the creation of scientific knowledge.

They will explore how we effectively advance academic freedom in the US, China and the world and will consider if the global science system is sufficiently robust to maintain its networks and the free flow of open science.
