In 2019, with serving technology innovation for center, tightly around the "One-Three-Five" Strategic Planning, IBCAS has further expanded and deepened the international S&T cooperation, has improved the internationalization level and international influence, and enhanced the innovation ability in the related fields. This year, the institute has received funding of around 6.38 million RMB, in which 11 new international projects approved.

In 2019, IBCAS kept active international exchange with the scholars and scientists all around the world. Altogether there are 173 scholars going abroad to conduct cooperative research and attend conferences, and 133 scholars coming to visit IBCAS. The delegation from French Institute for Grape and Wine Sciences (ISVV) and Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), visited IBCAS. To date, there are 18 scientists serving in 28 international organizations and 53 scientists in 70 international journals.

There are 3 international conferences held by IOB, including the 9th Asia-Oceania Conference on Photobiology, Post 2020 Global Biodiversity Conservation Special Policy Study Whole Team Meeting and China-Australia-New Zealand Symposium on Grass-based Livestock Husbandry. These conferences, to some extent, provided a good platform for the institute to be known by the international universities and organizations, and also promoted further international communication.

Meanwhile, scientists from IBCAS acquired many international honors. Academician KUANG Tingyun was awarded the “outstanding achievement” and “outstanding contribution” awards respectively by the 10th International Conference on Sustainable Development of Photosynthesis and Hydrogen Energy Research and Asia-Oceania Society of Photobiology. Academician FANG Jingyun was awarded the Whittaker Distinguished Ecologist Award by American Ecological Society. Prof. MA Keping was reappointed of President of the Asia Member Committee of IUCN.

The international cooperation projects made good progress in 2019. The International project “Flora of Pan-Himalaya”, held by IOB scientists, involved with international scholars has advanced steadily. A one-month large-scale field expedition to Tibet and Nepal was organized respectively, and more than 40 other filed investigations have been carried out. Two Chinese researchers were sent to UK to examine the specimens; two foreign authors visited IBCAS for collaborative research. In 2019, four volumes/books were published.

Sino-Australian join project-“How do crops feel the cold” has made progress in the field of cold stress response signaling pathway and the regulation mechanism between stress resistance and development. Another project-“Improving crop yield potential under water and climatic constraints in the North China Plain and Australia’s northern grain zone” has completed data collection, model validation and database construction.

The Sino-Franco International Associated Laboratory of Grapes and Wines (Innogrape LIA) co-organized the first scientific symposium and its annual academic committee meeting in France. IBCAS joined Oenoviti International. Zhang Yaping, Vice President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences investigated the INNOGRAPE LIA in France. IBCAS has maintained very active exchanges with the French partners, with 19 scholars mutual visiting and 2 graduate students exchanging in 2019.

Through organizing foreign affairs training and issuing relevant rules etc., the new policies and regulations of CAS on going abroad on business have been further implemented and strengthened. IBCAS made advantage of the new generation ARP information platform to properly simplify some application and approval procedures.
