Excellent Young Leader Program in Theoretical Physics and Related Interdisciplinary Fields（理论物理及相关交叉学科优秀青年项目）

27 Oct 2025, 09:00 → 7 Nov 2025, 17:00 Asia/Shanghai

Institute of Theoretical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China

Under the guidance of the Bureau of International Cooperation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Theoretical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ITP/CAS), in collaboration with the Japan - China Science and Technology Exchange Association (JCSTEA) and the Japan - China Friendship Association of Tokyo, will jointly organize the " Excellent Young Leader Program in Theoretical Physics and Related Interdisciplinary Fields". This program will invite young talents from top universities and research institutions in Japan and other countries to visit the Chinese Academy of Sciences, facilitating international academic exchanges and cooperation in theoretical physics and related interdisciplinary fields. Through visits and lectures, it will introduce the Chinese Academy of Sciences and its affiliated institutes to these young talents. Additionally, it will serve as a platform for young researchers from both China and abroad to present their research achievements and talents, and also to develop their international cooperation.

在中国科学院国际合作局的指导下，理论物理所与日中科技交流协会、東京都日中友好协会将共同组织“理论物理及相关交叉学科优秀青年交流项目”。该项目将邀请来自日本和其他国家的顶尖高校和科研机构的外国青年研究人员来中国科学院交流参访，促进理论物理及相关交叉学科领域的国际学术交流与合作。该项目将通过参访、讲座等多种形式向外国青年研究人员介绍中国科学院及下属研究所，也将为中外青年研究人员展示研究成果和才华提供平台，促进双方青年研究人员发展建立科研合作关系。

Requirements of the participants

The young talents participating in the program should be outstanding graduate students or postdoctoral fellows from top universities and scientific research institutions in Japan and other countries. In principle, they should be no older than 32 years old, and priority will be given to talents who have not participated in such programs during the selection. They can be Japanese or from other countries, but should not be Chinese young physicists studying abroad. The total number of young talents should be 20. 

 

Registration

We encourage all young talents involved in these research areas to apply through the link:   https://indico.itp.ac.cn/event/304/registrations/87/

The deadline for registration is July 10, 2025 (Thurday).

All applicants will be evaluated by the selection committee consisting of leading experts, and the accepted participants will receive official invitation letters from the ITP-CAS via registered email addresses in August, 2025.

 

Accommodation, meals, transportation and insurance

The organizer will cover the accommodation, meal, transportation and insurance expenses for the invited participants. Specifically, the organizer will make arrangements for accommodation, meals, insurance and transportation for group activities within Beijing. The ceiling for air - ticket reimbursement will be notified later.
