2023 SATU JOINT RESEARCH SCHEME (JRS)


NEW! 

 

About the SATU Joint Research Scheme (JRS)

The SATU Presidents' Forum International Secretariat launched the SATU Joint Research Scheme (or SATU JRS) in 2012 to provide a collaborative platform that facilitates academic research cooperation among SATU member universities. It serves as a matching platform where scholars from different SATU member universities can connect with like-minded researchers and form research collaborations together. 

The JRS platform does not provide funding for the matched projects. Each host university may provide funding or alternative types of support to implement the matched project.

 

Aim

The SATU Presidents' Forum International Secretariat works as a networking platform to connect scholars who share similar research interests. The aim of JRS is to help integrate resources to increase the quality, quantity and global scope of the research being conducted at our member universities, with the goal of advancing the research achievements of the SATU community.

 

Eligibility
Investigators must be working at one of the SATU member universities throughout the entire JRS process and have a doctoral degree.

 

Topics
Acceptable topics include those involving Liberal Arts, Management, Sciences, Social Sciences, Engineering, Electrical Engineering & Computer Science, Planning & Design, Bioscience & Biotechnology, and Medicine in Southeast and South Asia, and multidisciplinary research. Each project consists of a team of researchers, including a Principal Investigator (PI) and Co-Principal Investigator(s) (Co-PI(s)) from SATU member universities.

Matching Procedures
The PI projects and the Co-PI applications will be matched as follows:

1. Call for PI proposals
In this stage, all academic members of SATU member universities are invited to submit their research project proposals via the PI proposal submission forms. At the end of this stage, the project information will be compiled into a PI project list.

2. Call for Co-PI applications
All academic members of SATU member universities can refer to the PI project list for projects which they would like to join as Co-PIs, and submit the Co-PI application form, in which they will be asked to indicate the code of the projects of interest, and provide a CV.

3. Matching - Co-PI application sent to PI for review and selection
When the Co-PI application period is over, each PI will receive a list of Co-PI applicants interested in joining his/her project. The PI will then be asked to review the Co-PIs' applications, and inform us of the Co-PI(s) s/he would like to work with.

4. Matching announcement
Upon receipt of the PIs' decisions, we will notify both the PIs and Co-PIs if the matching is successful. If the matching is successful, the PI and Co-PIs concerned will be provided with the contact information of all investigators in their respective teams.

This is the point where the JRS matching exercise completes. The PIs and Co-PIs can then start their own discussions on research planning and implementation etc.

A list of matched projects will also be released on this website.
