ICGEB-DIC-MOST International Fellowship Programme

The IFP is a new initiative launched by the ICGEB and the Department of International Cooperation of the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology (DIC-MOST). The IFP Call is managed by the China National Center for Biotechnology Development (CNCBD) with the support of the ICGEB.

The IFP is aimed at promoting the training of scientists and researchers in developing countries and emerging economies, and other ICGEB Member States involved in the Belt and Road initiatives. The Programme supports short-term fellowships of scientists from ICGEB Member States in these regions to prestigious Chinese laboratories as a way of enhancing skill development, acquiring specific hands-on training in technologies available in the receiving laboratory and increasing bilateral cooperation in science and technology between China and the relevant ICGEB Member State.
