Call for Southeast Asian Researchers to Join Prestigious Innovation and Sustainability Program 

A unique opportunity is now open for early-career researchers in Southeast Asia to advance their work in the fields of innovation, sustainability, and inclusive development. Applications are invited for the Research Capacity-Building Program on Innovation & Sustainability in Southeast Asia, an international initiative aimed at supporting researchers from Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. 

This project is supported by the British Academy and implemented in collaboration with Edinburgh Napier University; ChulaUnisearch, Chulalongkorn University; the College of Population Studies; and the Labour Research and Coordination Research Unit at the College of Population Studies, Chulalongkorn University. Its primary objective is to strengthen research capacity and foster collaboration among early career researchers in Southeast Asia.

The program offers participants the chance to develop their research into high-impact publications, with a particular focus on submitting to Q1 or Q2 international peer-reviewed journals. Selected researchers will benefit from a three-day intensive writing workshop in Bangkok, Thailand, from 27 to 29 August 2025, followed by a one-year virtual mentorship provided by experienced academics and international experts. 

A total of 30 participants will be selected. The program provides full flight reimbursement, including round-trip taxi fares to the venue, as well as accommodation in Thailand. 

The workshop will cover a wide range of themes, including: 

• Innovation and Technological Transformation
