2024年10月，数字科学促进与研究协会（ADSPR）与欧洲数据科学联盟（European Data Science Alliance, EDSA）在日内瓦正式签署战略合作协议，标志着ADSPR国际合作版图的又一次重要拓展。
根据协议，双方将在四个维度开展深度合作。首先是学术资源共享——双方将互认成果评审结果，ADSPR数智研究院通过评审的学术成果可进入EDSA的欧洲学术成果数据库，反之亦然。这一互认机制将显著提升两个组织成员的学术成果的国际可见度和影响力。
其次是联合课题研究。双方将每年联合发起两到三个跨区域研究课题，重点聚焦数据治理法规比较研究、跨境数据流通机制和隐私保护技术标准化等议题。这些课题天然具有跨文化和跨法域的研究需求，双方的互补优势将为研究提供独特的视角和资源。
第三是人才交流。ADSPR青年资助计划的受资助研究者将有机会赴EDSA成员机构进行短期学术访问，EDSA的青年学者也可申请参与ADSPR的学术活动和导师匹配计划。
第四是联合出版。双方计划在数据治理和隐私计算领域联合发布研究报告，为全球数据科学政策制定提供学术参考。
协会副理事长林嘉诚作为ADSPR代表出席了签约仪式。他指出，EDSA在欧洲数据保护法规（GDPR）框架下积累了丰富的合规研究经验，而ADSPR在亚太地区的技术创新和产学研合作方面有显著优势。双方的合作将为数字科学研究者打开一条连接亚洲与欧洲的学术高速通道。
这是继2020年与新加坡国立大学数据科学中心建立合作关系后，ADSPR在国际合作领域的又一重要里程碑。协会将继续拓展全球学术合作网络，为会员提供更加多元和优质的国际学术资源。
In October 2024, the Association for Digital Science Promotion and Research (ADSPR) and the European Data Science Alliance (EDSA) formally signed a strategic cooperation agreement in Geneva, marking another important expansion of ADSPR's international cooperation network.
According to the agreement, the two parties will carry out in-depth cooperation across four dimensions. The first is academic resource sharing: both sides will mutually recognize achievement review results. Academic achievements that pass review by the ADSPR Digital Science Research Institute may enter EDSA's European academic achievement database, and vice versa. This mutual recognition mechanism will significantly enhance the international visibility and influence of the academic achievements of members of both organizations.
The second dimension is joint research projects. Each year, the two parties will jointly launch two to three cross-regional research projects, focusing on topics such as comparative studies of data governance regulations, cross-border data circulation mechanisms, and the standardization of privacy-preserving technologies. These projects naturally require cross-cultural and cross-jurisdictional research, and the complementary strengths of both sides will provide unique perspectives and resources for the studies.
The third dimension is talent exchange. Researchers funded by the ADSPR Youth Funding Program will have opportunities to conduct short-term academic visits at EDSA member institutions, while young scholars from EDSA may also apply to participate in ADSPR academic activities and mentor-matching programs.
The fourth dimension is joint publication. The two parties plan to jointly publish research reports in the fields of data governance and privacy computing, providing academic references for global data science policymaking.
Lin Jiacheng, Vice President of the Association, attended the signing ceremony as ADSPR's representative. He noted that EDSA has accumulated extensive compliance research experience under the framework of Europe's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), while ADSPR has significant advantages in technological innovation and industry-university-research collaboration in the Asia-Pacific region. The cooperation between the two sides will open an academic expressway connecting Asia and Europe for digital science researchers.
This is another important milestone in ADSPR's international cooperation after establishing a partnership with the Data Science Center of the National University of Singapore in 2020. The Association will continue to expand its global academic cooperation network and provide members with more diverse and higher-quality international academic resources.
