Guide for European researchers on funding and grants in China

Grounded on more than one year of daily monitoring, data collection and analysis, a practical Guide was produced under the project to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date picture of the funding landscape in China for European researchers, with particular focus on the detailed processes of publication of calls, and of submission and evaluation of applications. Case studies will also be presented, when these were available.

The China Innovation Funding website offers a detailed overview of the R&D and innovation funding programmes available in China. All funding and incentives available at both the national level and in selected regions are introduced in our exhaustive database of programmes, together with the EU-China Co-Funding Mechanism.

The database targets different stakeholder groups (enterprises; SMEs; academia; talents; etc.). In addition, in our policy platform we also introduce the latest policy and regulatory developments within the science, technology and innovation sector in China.

From this website you can also access a collection of ad hoc studies and reports about R&D and innovation funding programmes in China. You can access the desired section by clicking on the links below.

Why Should You Invest in Cryptocurrencies?

 Let's face it! You most likely have been there. You have seen posts when scrolling through your social media feed about cryptocurrency. Not only that, but you probably have read articles concerning cryptocurrency. You have heard stories about it. You have seen it in the headlines of newspapers. 

You are seated on the fence. Likewise, you want to try your luck too, but then hesitation creeps in. You don't seem to be sure if cryptocurrency is with the hype, or if it is just another fad with a label on it to deceive people into being customers.You wonder 'Why should anyone invest in cryptocurrency?' or 'Is cryptocurrency legit?

Not to worry, we will explore the question regarding why you should invest in cryptocurrency. You will get to know whether cryptocurrency is worth your money, time, and attention.

 You should invest in cryptocurrency to satisfy the need for a dependable, long-term store of value. Contrary to fiat money, most cryptocurrencies have a restricted store capped by mathematical algorithms. This gives rise to the impossibility of any monetary authority or administrative agency to weaken their value via inflation. Further, because of the cryptographic attribute of cryptocurrencies, it is not likely for a government body to charge or seize tokens without the user's cooperation. Impressive, right? This makes cryptocurrency enticing to persons who are anxious about hyper-inflationary incidents, bank disappointments, or other disastrous happenings. 

Particularly, Bitcoin has caught attention because of its deflationary properties. It also resists censorship. Bitcoin is defined as digital gold due to its leading proponents. It is highly unique and remarkable that cryptocurrency is a substantial liability. Since it does not depend on a middleman, it depends on the user to securely keep the cryptographic keys that manage their blockchain address.

Another reason to consider investing in cryptocurrency is there is no extortion and fraud in cryptocurrency investment. Payments cannot decline, unlike other payment means. The payment is instant. There is also no room for manipulation because it is safe and digital. You should invest in cryptocurrency because you are not required to give out your private key to another person. The payments are fully encrypted. There is room for privacy as no one can spy on your payment information. There's more! Your payment information will never leak. So if you like anonymity, cryptocurrency assures you of that.

Do you know if you have cryptocurrency in your digital wallet, you possess a high asset? You can transfer with ease to any individual with no need for any permission. To perform a transfer, you require a private key of the other individual. No money is needed for ownership transfer. No paperwork is needed. Also, no inconvenient event will take place. If you do a comparison with the other circumstances such as bank account closing, or property transfer, you are required to go through the big paperwork, and you need to pay the commission fee.
