Dear readers,

I am glad to introduce to youthe second, updated editionof the Funding Guide: Re-

searchers mobility and col-laboration between Europeand China. The brochurepresents a wide range offunding instruments madeavailable for researchers andinnovators acrossChina and Europe to moveand work abroad.

Research and Innovationform an important part of

the EU-China strategic part-nership. China has beenand will be an importantResearch and Innovationcollaboration partner for theEU, and we are putting allpossible efforts into strength-ening this partnership tomake it even more fruitfulfor both sides.

However, every innovativesolution always requires cre-

ative interaction among in-dividuals. That is why mobil-ity of researchers, scientistsand innovators from boththe public and the privatesector, is indispensable forcreating the better world oftomorrow.

This booklet might not beexhaustive but reects mostof the opportunities offered

by the European Union, itsMember States, the Coun-tries Associated to the EUFramework Programmeas well as some Chineseschemes. I sincerely hopethat it will bring you use-ful information, encouragemore mobility and Researchand Innovation exchangesbetween Europe and China.

To conclude this short in-troduction, I would verymuch like to thank theMember States of the Euro-pean Union, the AssociatedCountries, the Science andTechnology Talent Centre ofthe Ministry of Science andTechnology, the EURAX-ESS-Links China project andthe Science, Technology andEnvironment Section of theDelegation of the European

Union in Beijing for theirintensive work and their ex-cellent cooperation in pre-paring this brochure.

Dear readers,

I am very pleased to see thatthe Science and TechnologyTalent Center of the Ministry

of Science and Technologyworks with the Delegationof the European Union toChina together in preparingthe updated edition of theFunding Guide: Research-ers mobility and collabo-ration between Europe andChina.

In recent years, researchand innovation coopera-

tion between China and theEU has been considerablystrengthened and research-ers mobility between Chinaand the EU is more active.We believe that mobility iscrucial for better solutionof global issues, for betterinnovation system, for thebilateral scientic and tech-

This is the second, updated editionof a brochure called the FundingGuide: Researchers mobility andcollaboration between Europe andChina

The rst edition which came out in 2011was very well received by the EU-China re-search community. The current edition intro-duces the latest funding schemes that existto support mobility, research collaboration,research exchange and relations betweenEurope and China.

The content includes a brief overview ofeach scheme, outlining its purpose, researcheld, eligibility and application deadline,

where applicable. The format enables re-searchers to scan the range of schemes andquickly grasp the key essentials of each pro-gramme. Each part also can redirect thoseinterested to a dedicated webpage. In ad-dition to the European Commission grants,the document lists funding schemes of EUMember States and Associated Countries tothe Horizon 2020, the EUs Research and In-novation Framework Programme. It also listssome Chinese funding schemes open to in-ternational researchers, and those offered byother foundations or research bodies.

We aim to provide comprehensive informa-tion that will be of interest to:

Researchers wishing to travel to Chinafrom Europe,

Researchers wishing to return to or visitEurope from China,

Researchers looking to locate fundingopportunities in China,

Researchers seeking to collaborate withpartners either in Europe or China.

The information in the booklet is mainly tar-geted at those in graduate school or who are

working as a researcher, at postdoctoral orsenior levels. It should also be of interest tothose in universities or research institutionsresponsible for international relations or ca-reers.

The handbook was put together by EURAX-ESS Links China, the Science and Technol-ogy Section of the European Delegation toChina, EU Member States and countriesassociated to Horizon 2020. Informationabout Chinas funding schemes open to in-ternational researchers was collected by theExchange, Development and Service Centerfor Science and Technology Talents (Scienceand Technology Talent Center, STTC), a Bei-jing-based governmental agency afliated to

the Ministry of Science and Technology.We would like to remind you that the listis by no means exhaustive. New schemesregularly come on board that will not be in-cluded in this booklet. The best way to keepinformed of all new funding developments isthrough visiting the EURAXESS Links Chinawebsite which features regular informationabout funding opportunities and the latestcalls. We also encourage readers to sign upfor our newsletter, distributed electronicallyeach month free of charge, which also fea-

tures calls and funding opportunities.

OUTLINE

Chinese participation is welcomed in all Calls for Proposals of Horizon 2020.Through participation in Horizon 2020, China can gain great benets from ac-cess to excellent knowledge, access to research data and access and connectionto world-leading scientic networks and research teams. In the 2014/2015 calls,several topics are specically agged for targeted cooperation with China includ-ing the elds of Food, Agricultureand Biotechnology, Water, Energy, Information

and Communications Technologies, Nanotechnology, Spaceand Polar research. Inthese agged topics, the participation of Chinese partners is strongly encouragedand will add value to the proposals.

In addition to the principle of general opening of Horizon 2020 the EU and Chi-na are further working together in a targeted strategic way on a selected number ofpriority areas of interest and benet for both sides. Strategic priority topics are thefollowing: Food, Agriculture and Biotechnologies; Sustainable Urbanisation, Avia-tion and Aeronautics, and ICT. For these priorities, the implementation of researchprojects is encouraged through joint calls. They can be launched with Chinesepartner institutions, as done previously e.g. in the elds of aeronautics with MIIT/CAE, and biomaterials with NSFC.

In addition to the principle of general opening of Horizon 2020 the EU and Chi-na are further working together in a targeted strategic way on a selected number ofareas for mutual interest.

Strategic priority topics are the following: Food, Agriculture and Biotechnologies;Sustainable Urbanisation, Aviation and Aeronautics and Peaceful Uses for NuclearEnergy. Other thematic areas of key importance to EU-China research and innova-tion collaboration are: Water, ICT, Space and Energy.
