The Committee of 100 Wanxiang Teaching Scholars program was launched in summer 2012. Program participants were science teachers who traveled to three cities in China on a theme-based study to explore new frontiers in clean technology and renewable energy. The Teaching Scholars Program is one of the Committee’s many educational programs which strengthen bilateral relations by inviting thought leaders from business, civic community, media, and education to China.
