<span style="font-family:宋体, arial, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:14px;text-wrap-mode:wrap;">Dear
colleague,</span>

<div class="moz-forward-container"><span style="font-family:宋体, arial, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:14px;text-wrap-mode:wrap;">We
are pleased to enclose the annual call for proposals for
International Teams hosted at the International Space Science
Institute–Beijing (ISSI-BJ), jointly with our colleagues from
the International Space Science Institute (ISSI) in Bern
(Switzerland).</span><br style="font-family:宋体, arial, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:14px;text-wrap-mode:wrap;">
<p style="font-family:宋体, arial, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:14px;text-wrap-mode:wrap;">
International Teams are usually composed of 8–12 scientists from
different institutes and nationalities, covering a wide range of
expertise; a minimum of four nationalities is required. They
hold two or three one-week in-person meetings at ISSI-BJ over a
period of 12 to 18 months. International Teams work
collaboratively on the analysis and interpretation of
space-based data (ground-based data or theoretical modelling
outputs may be included if they contribute meaningfully to the
project’s scientific remit), with the eventual aim of publishing
peer-reviewed journal articles. See also <a href="https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/EnzBCmO5gluRZmZMxUGfWSRrkCs?domain=issibj.ac.cn/" moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">http://www.issibj.ac.cn/program/it/</a>.

<p> <span style="font-family:宋体, arial, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:14px;text-wrap-mode:wrap;">Proposals
are assessed by the international joint ISSI/ISSI-BJ Science
Committee on the following criteria: </span><a href="https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/NRMiCnx1jni6zJzWEtJhVSJ4sJj?domain=issibj.ac.cn" style="font-family:宋体, arial, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:14px;text-wrap-mode:wrap;" moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">http://www.issibj.ac.cn/program/it/202105/P020240912394302116557.pdf</a><span style="font-family:宋体, arial, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:14px;text-wrap-mode:wrap;">. </span><em style="font-family:宋体, arial, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:14px;text-wrap-mode:wrap;">Applicants
intending to submit a proposal for ISSI-BJ support are
strongly encouraged to contact the ISSI-BJ team during their
proposal development phase to benefit from targeted support. </em><br style="font-family:宋体, arial, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:14px;text-wrap-mode:wrap;">
<span style="font-family:宋体, arial, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:14px;text-wrap-mode:wrap;"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:宋体, arial, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:14px;text-wrap-mode:wrap;">Whereas
ISSI-BJ is co-located with the Chinese National Space Science
Center in Beijing, we are an international non-governmental
organisation focusing on the exploitation of space science
data and the planning for future space science missions. All
ISSI-BJ-supported outputs are expected to eventually appear in
the open scientific literature.</span><br style="font-family:宋体, arial, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:14px;text-wrap-mode:wrap;">
<span style="font-family:宋体, arial, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:14px;text-wrap-mode:wrap;"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:宋体, arial, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:14px;text-wrap-mode:wrap;">In
recent years, the Chinese government has significantly eased
visa requirements for many citizens from European and other
Western nations. ISSI-BJ will provide logistics support in
acquiring visas for those participants who still need them.</span><br style="font-family:宋体, arial, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:14px;text-wrap-mode:wrap;">
<span style="font-family:宋体, arial, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:14px;text-wrap-mode:wrap;">With
an application deadline of 13 March, we look forward to
welcoming your innovative proposals to conduct cutting-edge
science at ISSI-BJ in 2025 and 2026!</span><br style="font-family:宋体, arial, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:14px;text-wrap-mode:wrap;">

</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:宋体, arial, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:14px;text-wrap-mode:wrap;">Best
regards,</span><br style="font-family:宋体, arial, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:14px;text-wrap-mode:wrap;">
