The aim of the Fellowship is to promote academic exchange and cooperation between CAS institutes and international research institutions and universities, and the development of talented scientists, by attracting young international scientists to conduct a period of cooperative research at CAS institutes.

The Fellowship sponsors visits of 12 months duration, and covers one round-trip international airfare and personal expenses during the visit. Such visits may be extended by agreement for a further period of up to 12 months. CAS host institutes are responsible for the detailed management of each visit.

Applications may be submitted by a CAS host institute or by a designated international partner institution of the CAS.

Recipients of the Fellowship will be recommended as potential recipients of the “Research Fund for International Young Scientists” of the National Science Foundation of China.
