Shanghai Hosts Cross-Straits Geography Conference
2001-08-13
    A geography seminar involving  scientists from the mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong opened here  Monday.

   Jointly hosted by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and East  China Normal University, the three-day conference has attracted  more than 300 attendees.

   Sources with the organizing committee said that academic  exchanges have grown increasingly extensive among geography  circles from the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

   Hong Kong initiated the conference for Chinese all around the  world in April of 1990 and hosted the second seminar with the  theme of "China and the World in the 21st Century".  In 1999, the  conference was in Taiwan.

   The above activities have not only provided a chance for all  Chinese geography researchers to communicate and exchange but have also promoted the cooperation between them wherever they are,  according to the sources.

   The theme of this year's seminar is "A Century of Chinese  Geography: Fundamental Research and Education Development", at  which attendees will discuss Chinese achievements in the field and future development.
