Dr. ZHANG Lixin, Deputy Director of IOB met with them.
The visit is part of Zhang Heng's scheme launched by France Embassy in China. The scheme is established to promote science and technology cooperation with China. It is designed to facilitate French young researchers or engineers (under 40 years of age) to find potential partners in China.
The delegation was among the first invited to visit China. The members are from the National Higher School of Agriculture of Toulouse, the National Veterinary School of Aerfuer, and the Marine Development Research Institute of France, the Development Institute of France and the National Museum of Natural History.
