Southeast Asia – Europe Joint Funding Scheme (10th Call)

The Southeast Asia – Europe Joint Funding Scheme (JFS) has launched its 10th call for multilateral research and innovation projects involving researchers based in Southeast Asia and Europe. Since 2017, the JFS has implemented joint calls to fund bi-regional, multilateral research and innovation projects on topics of mutual interest to participating national or local funding agencies from both regions. The aim is to pool resources multilaterally to promote collaborative research projects. Swiss-based researchers from all disciplines can apply through the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) if their projects fall under one of two subject areas: Topic 1 focuses on New Materials and Green Transition, while Topic 2 addresses Climate-Resilient, Smart Agriculture using AI and IoT (Internet of Things). Each consortium must include at least three partners from three different countries, with at least one partner based in Southeast Asia. Swiss-based researchers applying for SNSF support must meet the eligibility requirements for SNSF Project funding and are strongly advised to consult the guidelines of the Swiss Alliance for Global Research Partnerships (GRP-Alliance). Applicants will need to submit the full proposal through both the JFS's platform PT Outline and the SNSF's mySNF system. All research partners in a consortium are supported by their own national or regional funding agency, except for self-financed partners.
