<p class="MsoNormal">Dear colleague,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph">We are
pleased to enclose (attach) the annual call for proposals for
International Teams hosted at the International Space Science
Institute–Beijing (ISSI-BJ), jointly with our colleagues from
ISSI Bern (Switzerland).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph">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, exceptionally, three) one-week in-person meetings
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/KELzCMwGxOtkM7mG0Iwf4H8Q49M?domain=issibj.ac.cn/" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" moz-do-not-send="true">http://www.issibj.ac.cn/program/it/</a>. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph">Proposals
are assessed by the international joint ISSI/ISSI-BJ Science
Committee on the following criteria: <a href="https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/XmcWCNLJyQUPDzy1rH4hKHyzl8r?domain=issibj.ac.cn" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" moz-do-not-send="true">http://www.issibj.ac.cn/program/it/202105/P020240912394302116557.pdf</a>.
<i>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. </i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph">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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph">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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph">With an
application deadline of 13 March 2026, we look forward to
welcoming your innovative proposals to conduct cutting-edge
science at ISSI-BJ in 2026 and 2027!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph">Best
regards,</p>
