Research: Sino-German Mobility Programme for Tübingen Premodern China Studies and Institute for the History of Natural Sciences, Beijing, Extended for a Fifth and Final Year

The Sino-German Mobility Programme has been extended for a fifth and final year

We are happy to inform you that the three-year Sino-German Mobility Programme dealing with the “Transfer of Technical and Scientific Knowledge between Europe and China during the Early Modern Period” (近代早期中欧技术科学知识的转移) was further extended until the end of 2024. The programme was initiated in 2020 by Prof. Hans Ulrich Vogel, Chinese History and Society, Department of Chinese Studies, Tübingen University, and Prof. Zhang Baichun 张柏春, Center for Comparative Studies, Institute for the History of Natural Sciences (IHNS), Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, and is generously supported with an amount of ca. 200.000 € by the Sino-German Center for Research Promotion (SGCRP, Chinesisch-Deutsches Zentrum für Wissenschaftsförderung, 中德科学中心), Beijing. This project envisages to create opportunities for senior and junior scholars of all ages working in these or closely related topics to travel either to China or Germany for exchanging information about the objectives and results of their research and engaging in an international dialogue. Due to the Covid crisis in the years 2020-2022, mobility activities unfortunately came to a standstill, but have thereafter been resumed again. More details of the programme.
