項目簡介

受大不列顛及北愛爾蘭聯(lián)合王國商業(yè)、創(chuàng)新和技能部與中華人民共和國教育部委托，英國大使館文化教育處和中國國家留學基金管理委員會共同設立博士生短期科研訪學項目，以支持中英兩國高等教育機構之間的博士生交流。

本項目將資助中國或英國博士研究生前往英國或中國開展為期3-12個月的學習或訪問。在博士研究生派出期間，強烈建議其導師對接收機構開展一次短期訪問，這將便于導師與對方國家的同行交流認識，也有助于他們了解學生所處的不同研究背景和遇到的問題。

本項目將優(yōu)先支持以下科學研究領域的博士研究生交流:

? 健康/生命科學（例如：艾滋病病毒/艾滋病、瘧疾、肺結核、被忽視的熱帶病、兒童死亡率、孕產(chǎn)婦健康）

? 環(huán)境技術（例如：氣候變化、綠色技術、可持續(xù)發(fā)展、生態(tài)系統(tǒng)服務、資源短缺問題）

? 食品和水安全

? 能源

? 城鎮(zhèn)化

? 有利于推動經(jīng)濟發(fā)展，提高民眾福祉的教育和創(chuàng)意產(chǎn)業(yè)

須提醒申請人注意的是，申請人需自行與計劃前行的接收機構確認訪學安排。所有訪學必須在2017年12月31日之前完成。

申請人資格

中英雙方申請人均須為博士學位在讀學生。中方申請人必須來自能夠授予博士學位的單位，中方接收院校必須具備接收國際學生的資格。英方申請人必須來自在以上支持領域擁有一流研究成果的高等教育機構。中方申請人必須符合中國國家留學基金管理委員會規(guī)定的申請條件，并應具備良好的英語水平。

申請截止日期

本次項目的申請截止日期為2016年9月20日。
