Summary:

YSEP funds an annual exchange of Australian and Chinese early to mid-career researchers in the fields of science, technology and medicine. It is open to researchers in academia and research institutes and to researchers in business and industry.

This prestigious program aims to:

Increase early to mid-career Australian and Chinese researchers’ understanding of the cultures, particularly the science and research practices and systems, of the two countries
Develop the participants’ leadership skills as future “science ambassadors” for Australia and China
Provide a catalyst for long-term, sustainable Australia-China research collaboration

Australian participants will:

Travel to China between 20 October and 1 November 2019. Please note that travel and visits must be undertaken during this period
Undertake an individual program of research-related visits, meetings, seminars, workshops and symposia with Chinese partners, either in academic institutions and/or business and industry

Participants’ travel, accommodation and associated living costs will be covered by the program.
