International Cooperative Program for Innovative Talents

The International Cooperative Program for Innovative Talents (ICPIT) mechanism is the top-level international educational exchange program for higher education of the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China.[1][2] The ICPIT program is administered by the China Scholarship Council.[1]

Scope

The ICPIT program was established in 2014 with the objective of supporting China's objectives of technology development and of building top-tier interdisciplinary educational programs.[1] Training in innovation is a special focus.[3] The program supports China's aim of developing select universities and disciplines through the Double First Class University Plan.[4] The strategy calls for collaboration with "world class" academic institutions, research laboratories, and research institutions beyond China.[2]

Selection

ICPIT proposals involve collaboration between a Chinese university and foreign entity, and are limited to one proposal per Chinese university.[2][4] Double First Class universities are permitted a total of three applications per year.[2] In 2018, the Chinese Ministry of Education funded a total of 29 ICPIT programs.[1]
