Objective

The China Netherlands Joint Scientific Thematic Research Programme (JSTP) aims at stimulating sustainable research collaboration by funding joint research projects and thematic dialogue seminars.

Thematic dialogue seminars
These seminars serve as foresighting exercises aimed at identification of research topics for future joint research that can be embedded in the research lines of the participating research teams. They are important networking opportunities for Chinese and Dutch researchers, and are aimed, broadly, at all scientific disciplines.

Joint research projects
JSTP aims at fostering research collaborations of Sino-Dutch research teams that share high ambitions to work together in sustainable joint research projects by providing multi-annual research funding, and by calling for proposals demonstrating complementary expertise between Chinese and Dutch research teams in areas, in which both China and the Netherlands excel. Thematic calls for proposals will be published annually, featuring different thematic priorities each year. The 2009 call for proposals addresses the research topic ‘Integrated Water Management in relation with climate change and sea level rise’.
