The Mobility Programme of the Sino-German Center for Research Promotion was launched in 2020 for the second time. It serves to facilitate bilateral cooperation on a specific scientific topic between research teams in China and Germany to bridge the gap between first meetings and long-term joint research projects by financing small workshops and staff exchange between the partner groups.
A total of 356 applications were received by the deadline, 349 of which passed the eligibility check. After being evaluated in parallel by both sides respectively and being confirmed by joint consultation, the SGC has approved 103 projects for funding. Detailed information on the funded projects is outlined below.
