The Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT)

The Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) was cofounded by CAS, the provincial government of Shandong and the municipal government of Qingdao in 2006. On August 1, 2011, CAS and the Qingdao Municipal Government signed an agreement, marking the official launch of the second phase of construction.

In 2017, guided by a visionary roadmap of the CAS leadership, the two sibling institutes of QIBEBT and Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) have initiated a major undertaking of syncretized development. In 2020, based on QIBEBT as the backing unit, the construction of Shandong Energy Institute (SEI) was officially launched, which sets up a platform for the institute to serve regional economic and social development. The same year, the Qingdao New Energy Shandong Laboratory was unveiled, which aims to promote Shandong-rooted original innovations in new energy and accelerate transformation of its energy generation and consumption framework into a clean and efficient one.

The Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB)

The Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) is China’s only comprehensive academic research institution specializing in the studies of life processes of inland aquatic organisms, ecological environment protection and utilization of biological resources. It was evolved from Natural History Museum of Academia Sinica founded in Nanjing in 1930, and was reorganized in 1934 as Institute of Zoology and Botany of Academia Sinica.

The Institute was divided into two institutes under Academia Sinica in 1944 - Institute of Zoology and Institute of Botany. In 1950, after the establishment of the CAS, IHB was formed by merging the Institute of Zoology of Academia Sinica, Institute of Zoology of National Academy of Peiping, and Division of Phycology at Institute of Botany of Academia Sinica. It was then located in Shanghai and moved to settle in Wuhan in 1954. In 2011, IHB entered into the pilot project of the CAS Innovation 2020, a program aims to further promote innovation and turn scientific discoveries into technologies that power economic growth and sustainable development. At present, CAS Pioneer Initiative, an action in response to the call of the new Chinese government for deepening reform of China's S&T structure and mechanisms, recognizes IHB as an institute featuring ecological civilization.
