Up to six grants in total are available, one per Centre of Excellence. Each collaborative grant will be RMB 600,000 in total. Since the supported projects will be two years in duration, RMB 300,000 per year will be provided.

While the aim of the grant is to support mainly in-person collaborative projects through research visits and/or student exchanges, up to 30% of the total funds can be used for equipment and/or consumables. The grant may also support participation in a training workshop at the collaborating CAS-TWAS Centre of Excellence.

From 2018–2021 he was president of the Accademia dei Lincei, and now is a member of various academies including the American Philosophical Society. In 2021 he received the Nobel Prize in Physics "for the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales." He carried out his research activities at the Frascati National Laboratories, first as a fellow of the CNR (1971–1973) and later as an INFN researcher (1973–1981). During this time he spent long periods abroad at Columbia University, IHES, ENS. In February 1981, he was appointed full professor of theoretical physics at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, a position that he held until 1992. Since 1992, he has been an emeritus professor at the University of Rome La Sapienza. His contributions cover many areas of theoretical physics, including particle physics, statistical mechanics, fluid dynamics, condensed matter physics, and scientific computer constructions.
