The newly founded center promotes world leading international scientific research on scientific issues such as computer science, artificial intelligence, and theoretical life sciences. The structure of the Xidian-FIAS International Joint Research Center (XF-IJRC) fosters international scientific exchange, supports young talents in the fields of theoretical fundamental and technology research, brings together international academic teams and promotes technological innovation and high-tech industry cooperation. The Xidian-FIAS International Joint Research Center operates under the principle of equality, mutual benefit and long-term commitment of the two institutions.
The joint research center will fund joint research projects through stipends for doctoral students and postdocs as well as organize schools and workshops.
In addition short term research visits will be possible and joint long term positions may be established in the future.
