The Centre is supported by a £500k grant from the AHRC and Newton Fund over two years with matched funding from the Ningbo Science and Technology Bureau and a further substantial contribution in kind from UNNC. It will act as a key national research hub with links to related projects and research groups in Beijing, Shanghai and other major cities. It provides the opportunity to have real impact in China as well as to bridge the best of UK and Chinese research capacity in this field. The centre currently hosts three PhD students from diverse backgrounds doing IP and Copyright related research.
