The ICGEB-DIC-MOST International Fellowship Program (IFP) offers competitive short-term fellowships in life sciences to highly motivated scientists from the eligible ICGEB member states wishing to pursue postgraduate research in China. The program supports the mobility of researchers to prestigious Chinese laboratories for a period of 6 or 12 months, to benefit from the expertise and technologies available in the receiving laboratories. The IFP is aimed to promote the training of scientists and researchers in developing countries and emerging economies, particularly in Asia and Africa. You can find a list of Chinese partnering institutes including a short description of hosting research groups from here.
