Sheng is a competition held in cooperation between the National Centre for Science and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). The formal and substantive evaluation of the applications entered in the competition was carried out simultaneously at the NCS and NSFC. The subject of the evaluation was joint Polish-Chinese applications for research project funding, while the experts evaluated the scientific value of the projects, the research teams’ the qualifications, the projects’ feasibility, and the costing.
