TEHRAN – The Iran-China Talented Young Scientist Program (TYSP) has thus far facilitated the dispatch of 71 Iranian scholars to the highest Chinese scientific middle to conduct analysis, laying the groundwork for increasing scientific and analysis cooperation between the 2 international locations.
The TYSP is a global mobility scheme funded by the Chinese authorities aimed toward cultivating future main scientists, along with different international locations.
According to the Vice Presidency for Science, Technology, and Knowledge-Based Economy, the 2 international locations began the younger scientists change program in 2017, IRNA reported.
The program, which incorporates scholarships and monetary assist from Chinese universities, in addition to instructional and analysis institutes, got here to a halt following the Covid-19 pandemic. The program restarted in October 2024.
The new version of the Iran-China TYSP, introduced in January 2025, opened up 53 alternatives for younger scientists from the 2 international locations.
The majority of Iranian candidates are affiliate professors or these with increased levels, and the remainder are chosen amongst school members and researchers.
TYSP affords sponsorship for proficient younger scientists from different international locations to work in China on a full-time foundation for six or 12 months along with China’s staff; the Ministry of Science and Technology of China has allotted 12,500 yuan per 30 days to assist the implementation of analysis actions of the younger proficient scientists in China.
Iranian scholars are primarily working with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tongji University, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and China Agricultural University.
Agricultural sciences and plant safety, earth sciences and pure hazard administration, physics and optics, arithmetic and pc science, supplies science and engineering, power, and bioinformatics are among the many most essential scientific fields within the TYSP program.
TYSP promotes cross-border exchanges of wonderful younger scientists, scholars, and researchers. The program additionally enhances cooperation amongst analysis institutes, universities, and enterprises.
When this system is over, participant will obtain a TYSP Certificate primarily based on their efficiency analysis.
The govt company will proceed to observe up on the venture administration, encourage international consultants and their host institutes to proceed cooperation, and apply for bilateral intergovernmental joint analysis initiatives.
INSF, NSFC to assist joint analysis initiatives
Iran and China will assist the implementation of 5 out of 190 analysis initiatives proposed within the Traditional Medicine and Medicinal Plants, and Energy sectors after the fifth joint name by the Iran National Science Foundation (INSF) and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC).
The grant, amounting to 40 billion rials (some 30,000 {dollars}) for every analysis venture, will probably be allotted to the next fields.
1. Traditional Medicine and Medicinal Plants: Evidence-based integration and standardization of conventional Chinese and conventional Persian medication for main ailments; Sustainable medicinal vegetation: eco-cultivation, biodiversity, and resilience; and the Application of Digital and AI (*71*) within the Classification, Analysis, and Clinical Research of Traditional Medicine and Medicinal Plants.
2. Energy: Renewable Energy; High-efficiency Utilization of Conventional Energy; Energy-Related Materials; Storage Technologies; and the Application of Artificial Intelligence within the Energy Field.
Supported by the INSF and the NSFC, an Iranian-Chinese workshop was held from November 10 to 12, 2025, specializing in new applied sciences for decarbonization and the sustainable constructed setting.
Organized by Sharif Energy, Water, and Environmental Research Institute and Chongqing University, China, the three-day occasion is being performed in English, with members attending the workshop in individual and on-line, IRNA reported.
It was centered round pathways towards a net-zero and decarbonized power future, sustainable sectors, and carbon effectivity, in addition to innovation and digitalization for the power transition, and the event of climate-resilient and resource-efficient cities.
The workshop served as a beneficial step in direction of increasing scientific ties between the 2 international locations to decrease carbon dioxide emissions and develop a sustainable setting.
