CHINA PROGRAM

Canada signed a bilateral science and technology (S&T) agreement with China in January, 2007.  The purpose of this agreement is to encourage, develop and facilitate cooperative activities between Canada and China in science and technology (S&T) for peaceful purposes in fields of common interest and on the basis of equality and mutual benefit.

Within the context of this S&T agreement, funding mechanisms have been identified in Canada and China through which companies, academic institutions, and research organizations may seek support for joint Canada-China research and development (R&D) projects and other activities intended to generate new or expanded bilateral research and technology-based partnerships (Partnership Development Activities).

For Canada, funding and other services will be provided through International Science and Technology Partnerships Canada Inc. (ISTPCanada), a non-governmental organization selected by the Government of Canada for this purpose, and for China through the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST).
