The Association of Asian Social Science Research Councils (AASSREC) invites interested applicants to an online information session about our Priority Social Science Research Grant Program.

The grant program supports international collaboration between social science researchers in the Indo-Pacific region to carry out and disseminate high-quality research on complex socio-economic problems of mutual interest. The purpose of the program is to forge meaningful regional research collaborations that generate knowledge to support evidence-based policy and innovation. It seeks to foster enduring relationships and cooperation between Indo-Pacific countries that advance and support inclusive and sustainable development in the region. Increasing and advancing gender equity and social inclusion is also a major objective of the program. This program is designed to support research activities involving researchers from at least two different countries in the Asia Pacific region working together on a social science research project.

The interactive session will provide insights into the grant objectives, eligibility criteria, and application process, ensuring you have all the information needed to apply.
