Science and technology (S&T) capabilities are fundamental for social and economic development both in developing and developed countries and regions. Nevertheless, the capacity for scientific and technological innovation, which is an important standard of assessing social and economic development, varies from country to country and from region to region. As the world is experiencing an unprecedented health crisis due to the coronavirus pandemic, S&T capability comes to be one of most important instruments to cope with the challenges.
Since the pandemic broke out in Europe, it has been challenging all the countries that are struggling with combating the coronavirus. This book sheds light upon the status quo of scientific and technological innovation mechanisms in CEE countries and Greece with an aim of better understanding the countries and their S&T development. The reports included are originally published as Weekly Briefings, a core product by the China-CEE Institute. All the Weekly Briefings are written by the Institute’s associate researchers from CEE countries. This book is a collection of the 2020 September economic issue of the Weekly Briefings. The views in the book are represented by the individual authors instead of the ChinaCEE Institute.
The China-CEE Institute, registered as a non-profit limited company in Budapest, Hungary, was established by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in April 2017. The China-CEE Institute is committed to build ties and strengthen partnerships with academic institutions and think tanks in Hungary, in Central and Eastern European countries as well as other parts of Europe.
The China-CEE Institute aims to encourage scholars and researchers in CEE countries to carry out joint researches, field studies, to organize conferences, 4 seminars and lecture series, to hold training programs for young students, and disseminate publication.
I hope the book would promote the exchanges among the academics as well as business fields between China and Central and Eastern European countries.
