Since both China and South Africa are members of “BRICS” countries, and both countries are members of the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) project. South Africa is one of the construction sites of SKA. Thus, it is a proper period for China and South Africa to develop strong collaborations on Astronomy.  

In Astronomy, China and South Africa will support the Bilateral Workshop Programme in the following years. Please find the Call Framework and Application Form for the Chinese-South African Collaborations in Astronomy Workshop Programme with the links below. Please notice that the deadline for applications for the 1st Call is 15 Jan. 2016, and the call is for activities ending no later than 31 March 2019.
