BEIJING — Beijing on July 8 started building a support platform for scientific research, Beijing Daily reported on July 9.

The platform, located in the northern Huairou district of Beijing, will provide support for scientific research and experimental technology training, public academics, sci-tech service, as well as operation and maintenance, for a national science center in Huairou. The construction of the facility will be completed in 30 months, said the newspaper.

The platform will satisfy the demands of interdisciplinary research and experimentation, and would be available for basic research by providing auxiliary experimental facilities and equipment, said the newspaper.
