The Commission of the European Communities and the State Science
and Technology Com mission of the People's Republic of China agreed
in spring 1987 to establish a Sino European biotechnology centre.
One activity of the centre concerns the organisation of joint
scientific workshops in the fields of agriculture and medicine.
After a frrst workshop on medicine held in Shanghai in October
1987, the Sino-European Soil Science Workshop, held in Guangzhou
from 26 April -I May 1988, was the second one, this time devoted to
a particularly important aspect of agriculture -soil science. The
South China Agricultural University on behalf of the Sino-European
Biotechnol ogy Centre was responsible for the local organisation of
the Workshop; the European con tributions were organised by
the_Commission. Soil Science is of particular importance to China
in view of the fact that only about 10% of the whole country is
arable land. Careful soil conservation is therefore a subject of
high priority. A solid knowledge and understanding of the
characteristics and functioning of the soils is a pre-requisite for
their conservation and the very broad European expertise in
temperate as well as tropical and sub-tropical climatic zones could
well contribute to the efforts of Chinese soil scientists to
modernise their methodologies and classification. This
contribution, however, could not be envisaged as a unilateral
technical assistance. Indeed, the only promising way to come to a
real contribution is through joint research involving Chinese as
well as European scientists."
