GSF comprises a general fund (open to any country) and several country-, region-, or university-specific funds.

“The collaboration has been nothing short of amazing. We have many students fully engaged on the project from both sides, with multiple PIs and a couple high-end papers on the docket."

Yuriy Roman, Professor of Chemical Engineering
