The National Space Science Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Space Studies Board of U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are pleased to invite applications to participate in the 9th and 10th Forums for New Leaders in Space Science.

The Forum, initiated in 2014, is designed to provide opportunities for a highly select group of young space and Earth scientists to discuss their research activities in an intimate and collegial environment at meetings to be held in China and the United States.

The goals of the Forum are threefold:

1. To identify and highlight the research achievements of the best and brightest young scientists currently working at the frontiers of their respective disciplines;
2. To build informal bridges between the Earth- and space-science communities in China and the United States; and
3. To enhance the diffusion of insights gained from participation in the Forum to the larger Earth- and space-science communities in China and the United States.
