Background:
EU Science and Technology Fellowship Program China:
The Science & Technology Fellowship Program in China (STF China) is the pilot phase of an EC action in the People s Republic of China aiming at building bridges between the EU and the People s Republic of China in the Science & Technology domain. STF China will promote mobility of EU researchers towards the Chinese research and development area. This will enable EU researchers knowledgeable about the Chinese language and research culture to successfully develop meaningful and long-lasting contacts with their Chinese counterparts.The STF China Programme consists of two intakes of 30 EU researchers in Chinese host institutions. The intake is planned for 24 months, including a two-day pre-departure briefing in Brussels, a six-month tailor-made Chinese language and research culture training in Beijing followed by an I8-month research period in a Chinese host organisation.
