BioGovernance Commons is a transnational initiative jointly convened by the GSEJ Director Joy Y. Zhang, along with Kathleen M. Vogel (US), Sonia Ben Ouagrham-Gormley (US) and Ruipeng Lei (China).\u00a0From September 2021, the initiative organized monthly online discussion groups that focused on specific areas of life science governance.\u00a0The aim was to host a trusted\u00a0forum where researchers inside and outside China could\u00a0meet regularly, under the motto ‘sharing perspectives on\u00a0shared challenges.’ (Detail see this article published in Issues in Science and Technology<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The online format was initially proposed in response to travel restrictions during the COVID pandemic. In the past 12 months, the initiative received support from scientific and social scientific professionals in Brazil, China, Italy, Greece, the UK and the US. As the world is healing from the pandemic, the hope is that BioGovernance Commons will continue through future in-person meetings and can inspire similar endeavors in building mutual understanding and confidence across different (cultural or professional) communities.<\/p>\n

To bring its online activities to a close, there are two concluding online forums: one is a US-China dialogue on \u2018How to Build Better Global Governance of Science,\u2019<\/strong> (US Eastern Standard Time: 20:00-23:00 August 24, 2022, chaired by Kathleen M. Vogel) the other one is EU-China dialogue on \u2018How to Make \u201cthe China Story\u201d More Informative\u2019<\/strong> (8am British Standard Time, September 6, 2022, chaired by Joy Y.
