Description
The American Mathematical Society’s China Exchange Program, supported by the Ky and Yu-Fen Fan Fund, funds research visits between mathematical scientists in the U.S. or Canada and China. It supports U.S. and Canadian researchers visiting colleagues in China, and Chinese researchers visiting colleagues at U.S. or Canadian institutions, to exchange ideas and develop long-term research relationships.
Research collaboration is the central purpose, rather than conference attendance. Visits may involve joint research, collaborative projects, seminars, or workshops; virtual collaborations are also considered. Selection preferences favor eminent U.S. or Canadian mathematicians whose visits benefit China’s mathematical research community, and Chinese scientists at the beginning of their research careers.
