The National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and Pakistan Science Foundation (PSF) will soon launch the first batch of joint exchange programs for 2022, a source told Gwadar Pro on Tuesday. The program aims at funding up to 15 pairs of researchers from both nations to undertake a joint research project, the source added, requesting anonymity. The priority areas include Computer Science, Internet of Things, Blockchain, Biometrics, Big Data, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Deep Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and 3D Printing as well as Climate Change and water, food and ecosystem security etc. PSF will provide a Rs4 million grant to each Pakistani researcher, while NSFC will fund the Chinese researchers, the source disclosed. Under the programme, the Chinese and Pakistani researchers are required to submit joint research proposals with NSFC and PSF. The two organisations do not facilitate the matchmaking but researchers from both sides establish connections on their own. This will give a boost to collaboration among Chinese and Pakistani researchers and will further deepen scientific cooperation between the two nations, the source said.
