The government of Israel attaches great importance to the academic and scientific ties between china and Israel. Large budgets and funds have been already allocated to this important goal.

In order to improve those ties and the academic cooperation between the two countries, Israel plans to launch a new scholarships program to attract excellent Chinese students to come to study in Israel.

The scholarships will be given to B.A students and M.A students in various fields of studies such as life science, physics, computer science, engineering and archeology.

In addition to that, Israel has decided to launch a special scholarship program for excellent post- doctoral students, who will come to Israel to conduct their research. The scholarships will be given by the research institutes and will cover full tuition and living expenses for the three years of post- doctoral studies.

In their visit to china, a delegation from the higher education council of Israel met with officials from the P.R.C minstrel of education and from CSC, and discussed the future cooperation between the two sides, and ways to implement and to promote the new scholarships programs

The NSFC and the ISF agree to launch calls for proposals to support collaborative basic research projects between Chinese and Israeli scientists in the areas of Life Sciences and Medicine and Exact Sciences and Technology. These joint research projects are to be carried out by established research groups from both countries.

The NSFC and the ISF will encourage and support the organization of bilateral workshops on scientific topics of common interest to promote the interactions and mutual understanding, potentially leading to collaboration between Chinese and Israeli scientists.
