About 50 Fellowships will be provided in the next three years to support short training visits (of up to 3-6 months) to encourage cooperation and collaboration and support the adoption of best practice.

Importantly, this activity will build networks of support for scientists working within China and assist in the dissemination ofrelevant information. The OPTICHINA Training Fellowships will provide travel, accommodationand subsistence to support researchers to enable them to obtain training, either in a newdiscipline or in a new aspect of their own field.
