[ASA] ISSI/ISSI-BJ 2025 Joint Call for Proposals for International Teams in the Space & Earth Sciences

[Richard de Grijs]

Dear colleague,

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).

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

Proposals are assessed by the international joint ISSI/ISSI-BJ Science 
Committee on the following criteria:

/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. /

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.

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.
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!

Best regards,
Richard de Grijs (ISSI-BJ Executive Director)
