View(s):The University of Peradeniya (UoP) has initiated discussions with the Chinese Fujian Provincial Center of Science and Technology Achievement Transformation to explore the co-establishment of a Maritime Silk Road Technology Transfer Centre at the university.
The preliminary meeting was held last week at the Vice Chancellor’s office, to discuss the groundwork for a collaboration focused on technology transfer in areas such as edible fungi cultivation, capacity development of academic staff, online learning for students, and joint research, the university said.
A key future goal is the joint establishment of a Mushroom Research Centre at UoP, focusing on high-yield variety breeding.
The discussions were led by Vice Chancellor Prof. Terrence Madhujith, and the Chinese delegation, which included Lin Kuiran, Director General of Fujian Innovation Research Institute, and Zhang Hua, Director of the Fujian Provincial Center of Science and Technology Achievement Transformation.
