Applications are now open for the Seeds of Science, Asia grant program!
Run by the International Science Council Regional Focal Point for Asia & Pacific (ISC-RFP) and the International Network for Governmental Science Advice (INGSA)-Asia, Seeds of Science is an opportunity for scientists, researchers, academics and practitioners in Asia to share their knowledge and insights on science advice with members of the scientific community and policy makers in their respective countries.
Equally, the program is an opportunity for policymakers, civil servants, and government officials to explore how science advice can best support their work, and to provide relevant advice to scientists about the complexities of policymaking, and how science can be efficiently integrated therein.
This year, the Seeds of Science, Asia will be offering grants up to A$9,500 each to successful consortia (joint applications where applicant one is affiliated with academic or research organization and applicant two is a policy maker affiliated with government, civil society organizations or non-government organizations) with well-outlined proposals. Applications can include organizing workshops, seminars or other activities promoting science advice at an institutional or national level in the applicants’ respective countries. Successful applicants will be mentored by experts in the science-policy nexus who will provide valuable guidance and support for the successful implementation of their workshops.
Applications will be open until 25 August 2025. For more information on the guidelines and to access the application form, please visit https://council.science/our-work/seeds-of-science-asia/. You may also contact Kunzang Choden at kunzang.choden@science.org.au.
