As part of a delegation traveling with the President of the Helmholtz Association, Prof. Dr. Jürgen Mlynek, an MoU between the GFZ (represented by Prof. Harald Schuh, Director of the Department "Geodesy and Remote Sensing") and the Chinese Academy of Space Technology (CAST, represented by Prof. Qiu Zhiwei) was signed on 11 10.2013 in Beijing.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) identifies common interests between the GFZ and CAST in the remote sensing of System Earth. The potential for future cooperation lies mainly in the area of the gravity field measurements of the GRACE and GRACE-FO-satellite missions. The GFZ will host up to two CAST young scientists per year, provides academic support and develops joint research projects.
