VAST is always a link between its research institutes and oversea partners. Looking for promising, financial oversea partners, bilateral cooperation activities, scholarships, Master and Ph. D. training courses are most important tasks of VAST. In coming years, VAST will concentrate on the following international cooperation activities: 1) To continue expanding the international cooperation activities with oversea partners, 2) To cooperate with multi forms, partners in international relationships, especially to strengthen and enlarge collaboration with traditional partners and neighbour countries, 3) To speed up and to develop cooperation activities with key partners largely in Western Europe, and 4) To continue joining the world deeply and largely in order to contribute actively to raise the position of VAST in the regions and in the world.
