The CAS-ANSO Scholarship (formerly known as the ANSO Scholarship for Young Talents) aims at providing opportunities for higher education and student exchange in the fields of science and technology worldwide.
Starting from 2024, a new non-degree program has been launched under the CAS-ANSO Scholarship framework. This program supports non-Chinese students to undertake short-term academic visits to esteemed institutions such as the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), the University of Chinese Academy of Science (UCAS), and various institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) located across China.
In 2024, two summer school programs sponsored by the CAS-ANSO Scholarship are now open for applications. These programs will be organized by USTC and UCAS respectively. For more detailed information regarding the programs, interested individuals are encouraged to visit the universities’ official websites. Contact information for further inquiries is provided below.
