In accordance with the requirements of the Management Measures for the Youth Talent Support Program of the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST), the Implementation Plan for the Youth Talent Support Program of the CAST Innovation and Integration Consortium of Societies, and the Management Measures for the Youth Talent Support Program of the Chinese Navigation Institute, we are now initiating the recommendation process for candidates for the Youth Talent Support Program of the China Institute of Navigation in 2024. The relevant matters are notified as follows:
I. Objectives
We aim to fully leverage the advantages of CIN 's high-level scholars and strengthen the function of discovering and recommending promising young talents. By identifying, supporting, and accelerating the cultivation of up-and-coming individuals with significant development potential, we will provide them with phased funding, mentorship, and other support to enable them to concentrate on scientific research. We strive to create a favorable environment that cares for and nurtures young scientists and technologists, guiding them to make the most of their golden period in research, fostering a solid professional foundation, and encouraging early success. Ultimately, we aim to inspire more young individuals to grow into leading maritime science and technology talents who possess both moral integrity and innovative spirit.
II. Criteria
- The candidate must be an employee of the recommending unit and an individual member of the China Institute of Navigation.
- The candidate's age must be under 32 years old (born after January 1, 1992; a two-year age relaxation may apply for females).

Ultimately, those confirmed as CAST's publicly funded youth talents will receive a special grant of RMB 100,000 annually to support independent research topic selection, design, and implementation, as well as participation in high-level international academic exchanges and positions in influential international civilian scientific and technological organizations. Continuous funding for 3 years will be granted to those who pass the annual evaluations.
