Total: 42 200 Euros travel costs for French Physicists to the FCPPL workshop travel costs for the PhD defense of Yaxian & Renzhuo stay costs for 2 Chinese PhD students in France (Yaxian & Xiaoming) stay costs for 2 Chinese master-II students in France stay costs for 2 Chinese technicians in France funding from China. Total: 341 000 Yuan travel costs for Chinese physicists, technicians & students in France stay costs for French physicists in Jinan & Wuhan stay costs for Chinese physicists in France concern: the reduction of the French budget (14 000 Euros attributed for a request of 42 200 Euros) strongly affects the future collaboration  only 2 French people in Jinan, stay of Chinese people in France to be redefined or cancelled. (20 000 Euros in 2010…) 19 1 Euro = 9.3 Yuan
