The 2025 Shanghai -亚太台风研究中心，Asia-Pacific Typhoon Collaborative Research Center

The 2025 Shanghai Typhoon Collaborative Research Fund (STCRF) from the Asia-Pacific Typhoon Collaborative Research Center (AP-TCRC) is open to the world. The detailed information on the fund can be found in the International Tropical Cyclone Collaborative Research Guide (Attachment 1). The guide covers both long-term (1 year, could be extended) and short-term (2-3 months) studies. Specific areas include observing, understanding, modeling and predicting tropical cyclones, marine meteorology and related new technologies.

The AP-TCRC is a newly established international joint typhoon research unit located in the Lingang Special Area of Shanghai, China. It is supported by the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee (the Committee) and hosted by the Shanghai Municipal Government of China and the China Meteorological Administration (detailed introduction could be found in https://ap-tcrc.org). We are looking forward to having you join us.

The funding will be allocated to cover the following expenses: airfare, accommodation, and the Daily Subsistence Allowance (DSA). During the visit, it is essential to adhere to the relevant regulations of the AP-TCRC.

If you are interested in collaboratively-working at AP-TCRC to carry out the funded research, please refer to the “Priority Funding Missions for 2025” in the Guide, and send your Curriculum Vitae, Application Form (Attachment 2), and the Consent to Collection and Use of Personal Information (Attachment 3) to the email address: [email protected] before 20 March 2025*.
