1. New JRP call in early 2011: In order to serve the Swiss scientific and education community better, the State Secretariat for Education and Research has decided to allocate funds for the bilateral science and technology cooperation programs in 2012 so as to keep the programs going until the decision for the next phase (2013-2016) is made. For the Sino Swiss Science and Technology Cooperation, this means that we should have the means to launch another call for Joint Research Projects in 2011.
deadline: April 30th, 2011 (negotiation with CAS on-going for a later date, but it probably would not work).
The priority fields: Renewable Energy/Cleantech and Materials/Nano-technology. Proposals outside of the priority areas will not be accepted. Detailed Information
2. Joint call for Exchange Grants proposals with Chinese Academy of Social Science: The Call should also be launched in January with March 31st as deadline. Details
3. New Exchange Grant call: depends on the funding allocated for 2012 and the amount approved for JRP (see above), there could be additional resource available for exchange activities as well. Please keep an eye on our homepage in 2011.
4. Internship program: Since the start of its pilot phase in 2004, the Sino Swiss Science and Technology Cooperation (SSSTC) has endeavored in promoting scientific cooperation between Switzerland and China. During the action phase 2008-2011, this effort has taken the form of supporting research and institutional cooperation and exchange of personnel. In our further effort to serve Swiss students and universities, we have decided to support the internship program launched by the swissnex China. In order to help and kick start the program, the SSSTC has agreed to provide a maximum of 20 Internship Scholarships.
