Social Science Research Funding and Collaboration in the Indo-Pacific: Regional Summit

The Association of Asian Social Science Research Councils (AASSREC) is delighted to invite you to attend the inaugural Regional Summit for Social Science Research Funding and Collaboration in the Indo-Pacific, co-hosted with the National Research Council of Thailand (NRCT). This event will take place from 9-10 May 2024, in the vibrant city of Bangkok.

The summit will be a platform for knowledge sharing and connection and will focus on three key themes:

• Identifying opportunities for bilateral and multilateral collaboration and funding calls, including discussion of innovation in program design, and shared research assessment, funding and impact evaluation challenges.
• Discussing opportunities to leverage social science research funding and expertise to achieve better outcomes through policy engagement and research translation.
• Determining priorities for AASSREC’s new Indo-Pacific social science funding program.

Convened as part of AASSREC’s ‘Boosting Social Sciences and their Contribution to Better Lives across the Indo-Pacific‘ program, this free event will feature keynote speakers, interactive workshops, panel sessions, a networking dinner, and ample opportunities to exchange experiences with stakeholder organisations across the region.
