Call for proposals: 13 November 2023 to 12 January 2024
Important notice : The signed application and relevant attachments must be submitted to the Fund before the deadline.
According to the Exchanges and Co-operations Arrangement of Science, Technology and Innovation Cooperation between GDST and FDCT, and the Action Plan for GDST and FDCT on Jointly Funding Cooperative R&D Projects between the two regions, the Science and Technology Development Fund (FDCT) and the Department of Science and Technology of Guangdong Province (GDST) launch Joint Funding Scheme for Scientific Research Projects (hereinafter referred to as “FDCT-GDST Projects”).
I. Key Support Areas
By focusing on the planning of the Greater Bay Area, the construction of international innovation and technology hub, as well as the development needs of society, economy and technological innovation in Guangdong and Macao, this Scheme aims to achieve the complementary strengths of research capability, facilitate the Industry-University-Research collaboration between the two places, strive for technical breakthroughs in strategic emerging industries so as to increase the international competitiveness of Guangdong and Macao.
This Scheme mainly supports the industry-university-research collaborative projects jointly proposed by Guangdong-Macao research candidates, involving the following fields: electronic and information, biomedicine (Chinese medicine), energy conservation and environmental protection, smart city, and marine science. The priority will be given to the collaborative projects jointly proposed by institutions of the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin.
Key support areas of pilot prefecture-level cities are as follows:
(1) Foshan: Traditional Chinese medicine, environment-friendly materials, electronic information materials, new energy materials, intelligent robots;
(2) Dongguan: Integrated circuit and chip design, traditional Chinese medicine research and development and clinical medical research, artificial intelligence and machine visual recognition, semiconductor and energy storage materials research and development.;
(3) Jiangmen: Biomedicine and health (Chinese medicine technology, food), advanced materials (including new energy battery materials), smart city construction, new generation of information technology, precision instruments and equipment, integrated circuits and chip manufacturing.
II. Application methods and requirements
1. One of the lead applicants must be an enterprise. If it is a Macao enterprise, the corresponding investment must be self-funded, which shall not be less than the funding approved by FDCT (≧1:1).
