CAST & the HOME Program
China Association for Science and Technology
The China Association for Science and Technology (CAST) is the largest national non-governmental organization of scientific and technological workers in China, which also serves as the bridge that links the Communist Party of China and the Chinese government to the country's science and technology community. Through its member societies - 204 in number - and local branches all over the country, the organization maintains close ties with millions of Chinese scientists, engineers and other people working in the fields of science and technology. The history of CAST can trace back to the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949 when a number of the nation's primary scientific and technological organizations were gathering at a meeting to call upon the country's science and technology community to dedicate all their efforts to the building of New China. The meeting led to the birth in 1950 of two new national organizations -- All-China Federation of Natural Science Societies and All-China Association for Science Popularization. In September 1958, the two organizations decided at their joint congress to merge into a unified single organization - the China Association for Science and Technology. Since its inauguration, CAST has made significant contributions to the prosperity and development of science and technology, to the popularization of science and technology among the public, to the emerging of large numbers of professional talents, and to the overall economic and social development in China. As the bridge linking Chinese science and technology community with the Communist Party of China and the Chinese government, CAST is a constituent member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), where it joins the nation's political parties and other social groups in the state affairs of political consultation, policy-making and democratic supervision. The highest leading organ of CAST is the National Congress that meets every five years and the National Committee elected by it. The President of the present National Committee is Prof. Han Qide. The Secretariat appointed by the National Committee is responsible for the daily work of CAST, which is headed by the Chief Executive -- Dr. Shang Yong. CAST devotes itself to boosting the development of science and technology in China and enhancing science literacy of the whole nation, organizes and encourages scientists and engineers of the country, through its affiliated organizations, to conduct academic exchange, science popularization and scientific and technological consulting and other activities according to the country's science and technology development strategy, accelerate the emergence of scientific and technological talents, voice the opinions of science and technology professionals and firmly safeguards their legitimate rights. CAST maintains cooperative relations with scientific and technological organizations of many countries and, as the representative of Chinese science and technology community, are members of ICSU, WFEO and many other international scientific and technological organizations. In 2004, CAST was granted consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. Sino-European Life Science Forum
HOME Program
Hub of Innovation and Entrepreneurship for Overseas Professionals
"HOME Program", jointly initiated by the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST) and 35 overseas Chinese professional organizations, was officially inaugurated in Beijing, China in February, 2004. With the support of the Central government and local governments across China, "HOME Program" serves as a hub of innovation and entrepreneurship for overseas professionals with science and technology background to serve and to engage them in the social and economic development in China. In the past 10 years, "HOME Program" has organized various activities helping overseas professionals to conduct academic and technology exchanges and cooperation, project collaborations, setting up business start-ups, inspection trips, survey and training programs and business consulting in China with the concerted efforts of its 50+ HOME Program Bases managed by CAST local branches throughout the country. HOME Program has conducted several inspection trips with delegates from overseas to various Chinese cities and regions focusing on major issues such as energy ecological environment, innovation and entrepreneurship of oversea returnees' enterprises, oversea talents strategy, bio-pharmaceutical and life science, and overseas technology transfer, and provided effective consulting to both government and business sectors. Many Chinese leaders including Premier Li Keqiang and Vice Premier Liu Yandong have responded most favorably and given precise instructions for related ministries and institutions to follow up. As a result of the energy ecological environment inspection trip, a solar powered pumping irrigation system was set up as a model project in Qinghai province, and won the UN Green Technology Award of Human Settlement in 2014."HOME Program" has established several other Model Projects ranging from water treatment, Industrial waste treatment, modern farming, robot and artificial intelligence and technology transfer, to name just a few. As an important part of the Strategic Cooperation Agreement between CAST and the governments of Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hubei signed in 2015, "HOME Program" has set up a pilot project entitled "Off-shore Innovation and Entrepreneurial Base for Overseas Professionals" in each city and province, aiming at attracting more and more overseas professionals to conduct business in China on these platforms with more favorable policies and business infrastructures. "HOME Program" is a service platform for overseas professionals with science and technology background, and CAST is the HOME for science and technology professionals all over the world.

The city in the history
Shaoxing boasts an ancient history and rich cultural heritages, being a famous city of history and culture in the first list published by the State Council. Of the three legendary saints for the founding of the Chinese civilizations (emperors Yao, Shun and Yu), two of them were related with Shaoxing. Historical documents recorded that Emperor Yu died and was buried in Kuaiji, an ancient name of Shaoxing. There are relics, mausoleum and temples of Emperor Yu as well as places in the legendary and tales in relation with Emperor Shun. The Xiaohuangshan Relics unearthed in Shengzhou, which was the China's top tenarchaeological discoveries of2005, brought the Neolithic Age civilization in Zhejiang and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River back to 9,000 years ago. In 490 BC, the city was established as the capital of the Yue Kingdom. In 221 BC, the Kuaiji County was set up here. In 605 AD, Kuaiji County renamed as Yuezhou. During the Southern Song Dynasty, the city twice Sino-European Life Science Forum
became the alternate capital of the nation, and Shaoxing Prefecture was established to replace Yuezhou. After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Shaoxing was a special prefecture until 1983 when it became a city under the jurisdiction of the provincial government and administrating counties. In November of 2013, approved by State Council and Zhejiang Provincial Government, Shaoxing County and Shangyu City were upgraded to be Keqiao District and Shangyu District respectively, which was a breakthrough and laid a solid foundation for future construction as a big city.
