Program Introduction
The Excellent Young Scientists Fund Program (Overseas) aims to attract and encourage outstanding young scholars from abroad (including non-Chinese foreign talents) who have achieved notable accomplishments in natural sciences, engineering, and technology to return (or come) to China for work. The program supports scholars in independently selecting research directions to conduct innovative studies, fostering the rapid development of young scientific and technological talents, and cultivating a group of exceptional academic leaders poised to advance global scientific frontiers, thereby contributing to building a strong nation in science and technology.
