In 23-24 of April 2015, the CAS-NWO workshop on Stem Cell Research was opened in Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology (SIBCB) by Prof. JING Naihe, the chairman of the workshop. The workshop was initiated and organized by Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the Netherlands organization for Scientific Research (NWO). SIBCB undertook and arranged the program for scientists from China and Netherlands to present their interesting research work, to discuss and the laboratory tour. More than 100 scientists and students who working on the stem cell participated in the workshop.
Ms. WANG Dongyao, deputy director of division of European Programmes, Bureau of International Cooperation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Dr. LIAO Kan, assistant president of SIBS, Dr. Janna de Boer, the Netherlands Organisation for Health Research and Development, Dr. ZHOU Jinqiu, deputy director of SIBCB, Mr. Berry Bonenkamp, Senior Policy officer of the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research, and Ms. Janine Blom-Veenman, programme officer of the Netherlands Organisation for Health Research and Development, attended the opening ceremony and gave warm opening speeches and brief introduction of SIBCB and the Stem Cell Research joint programs.

The workshop set up a communication platform, to put forward both sides of stem cell scientists their thinking and their doing, to bring scientists close. With the advance of the meeting in depth, the scientists of both sides took long time discussion together. There have been the budding collaborations occurred during the workshop.
