China’s Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) has recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) of four-year validation on technology cooperation with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC), most.gov.cn said on Friday.
The MOU puts emphasis on the hydrogen fuel cell technology for the two sides at the initial stage cooperation, and other priority areas will also be explored for other parts that may interest the two sides. A Steering Committee will be founded by MOST and NRC according to the MOU to hold conferences annually on the project of cooperation.

Back in June 2003, the MOST and NRC signed the science and technology MOU for promoting scientific and industry-wide cooperation between the two countries. The five-year-valid MOU has expired this June. 

The National Research Council (NRC) is the Government of Canada's premier organization for research and development, which has over 20 research centres around Canada covering life sciences, physics, engineering, technology and many other sectors.
