STINT and the Swedish Research Council invest SEK 15 million in research cooperation with Chinese universities

The Swedish Research Council is contributing SEK 5 million to STINT’s Joint China–Sweden Mobility programme for 2021–2024. This means that a sum of SEK 15 million is granted to 30 projects. Since 2015, a total of 165 projects have been funded as part of the programme. STINT’s Chinese partner, the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), finances Chinese participants to an equivalent level.

After peer review and evaluation meetings, the following projects have been awarded funding:
