To attract and cultivate top young sci-tech talent, Shandong has officially launched the application for the 2026 Post-doctoral Innovation Project. This project aims to encourage post-doctoral researchers to conduct innovative research and accelerate the transformation of scientific research achievements. According to regulations, projects selected on a merit basis will receive up to 80,000 yuan in funding.
This application is open to post-doctoral researchers at all types of post-doctoral research stations and workstations across the province. The funds will primarily support research projects in frontier science and technology, emerging industries, and fundamental interdisciplinary fields that are expected to achieve major breakthroughs. This is a concrete measure by Shandong to deeply implement the strategy of rejuvenating Shandong through talent and to strengthen the development of its young sci-tech talent pool. It will help unleash the innovative potential of young talents and build a reserve of high-level young research forces for the province's high-quality development.
