Funds are given to finance long-term research visits to Germany usually for a period of 6–24 months. The foundation also awards a number of large prizes for lifetime accomplishment and for "top flight" young researchers, such as theHumboldt PrizeandSofia Kovalevskaya Award. Awards from the foundation are considered to be among the most prestigious and generous awards in Germany.
In September, ISTIC (Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of China) issued the list of “100 Most Influential Chinese Academic Papers in 2012”. His paper “Robust Sliding Mode Control for Discrete Stochastic Systems with Mixed time—Delays, Randomly Occurring Uncertainties and Randomly Occurring Nonlinearities” was incorporated into the list. The paper of Hu Jun has focused on the design of robust sliding mode control occurring uncertainties and randomly occurring nonlinearities. The research was attached great importance by national and international experts in this field. It has been cited 50 times by Google Scholar and 30 times by SCI.
