Revision of two species of Sinopotamon Bott, 1967 (Crustacea, Brachyura, Potamidae) endemic to China: a new combination and a new synonym
The systematics of two problematic potamid species, Sinopotamon koatenense (Rathbun, 1904) and Sinopotamon wuyiensis Li, Lin, Cheng & Tang, 1985, both originally described from the Wuyi Mountains are resolved in this study. Sinopotamon koatenense is transferred to the genus Huananpotamon Dai & Ng, 1994, as the new combination Huananpotamon koatenense comb. nov. The new combination differs from its congeners in the form of the carapace, male pleon, male first gonopod, and vulvae. Phylogenetic analyses based on mitochondrial 16S rDNA sequences support the identification of Huananpotamon koatenense comb. nov. and a redescription is also provided. In addition, S. wuyiensis is confirmed as a junior synonym of Sinopotamon fukienense Dai & Chen, 1979 based on morphological similarities and phylogenetic lineages

POREEN\u2014 Partnering Opportunities between Europe and China in the Renewable Energies and Environmental industries.
The research project aims at integrating and combining economic, legal and engineering competencies to analyze the level
of economic cooperation reached so far between China and Europe in the renewable energy and the environment industries
and to identify specific areas to boost partnership opportunities. Using a multi disciplinary approach, the exchanged staff will
work on three main research areas.
The first one is focused on trade and investment flows and aims at identifying critical issues, gaps, and potentials in
Europe-China relationships. Major effects of Europe-China agreements on foreign direct investments (FDI) and trade flows
are examined. Problems encountered and opportunities to be seized at firm level will also be analyzed. The economic
perspective is supported and enriched by the engineering and legal perspectives. Engineering knowledge is fundamental
to defining concretely the sectors, products and processes which have high deployment potential. Engineering research
activity is focused on two main research areas, both related with energy efficiency and carbon dioxide reduction: mobility
and the transportation sector and low carbon buildings. The legal knowledge is relevant to understanding obstacles due to
the regulatory environment, as well as to identifying appropriate solutions to enhance collaboration. Main investigation areas
will be: offshore oil and gas and renewable energy; anti-dumping; environmental and social standards and corporate social
responsibility.
POREEN aims at increasing the availability of interdisciplinary studies, with a comprehensive overview of Europe-China
relations. Developing integrated knowledge is fundamental to provide useful and reliable information to support EU and local
policymakers, as well as companies working in/with China. POREEN should lay the ground for further related studies on this
topic and establish integrated and interdisciplinary research links between European and Chinese centres of excellence
