Project Overview
The Beidaihe Life Science and Healthcare Innovation Demonstration Zone is a multi-phased healthcare development project spanning 15 years to create an innovative pipeline for the development of new and effective medical treatments, and ultimately to deliver the highest quality and value of care to patients. 2018 marks the third year of the project, which has made significant progress in partnership building, strategy formulation, facilities construction and resource mobilization. One of the Zone’s primary concentrations will be on neuroscience, mental health and cognitive functions. A series of scientific and medical conferences will be held onsite, to serve as an important catalyst for the development of these areas in the Zone, envisioned to be attended by groups of scientists and clinicians. The 2018 conference to be held at the beginning of September will be dedicated to the topic of mental health and cognitive functions and will bring together researchers and clinicians studying and treating diseases, to communicate new and different insights and to form interdisciplinary collaboration.
