Research Support Program for Alumni Members

Background

Increasing number of AUN/SEED-Net Master’s and Doctoral graduates or alumni returns home country and becomes teaching staff at Member Institutions. Due to the huge demand of lecturers in higher education in several Member countries, the alumni members are taking a heavy teaching duty in their Institution. Being educators of young generation of students, it is thus indispensable for them to keep their knowledge updated, expanded and deepened in order to maintain high teaching standard and produce high-quality engineers who will eventually contribute to the development of the countries and the region. Doing research is one of the means to improve their capacity. Research Program for Alumni Members is then initiated to fulfill the alumni’s capacity enhancement and alumni network.

The program aims to support the alumni members to further doing research in their home country, preferably in relation to their Collaborative Research (CR) topics done during Master’s/ Doctoral study. Through the implementation of this program, research capacity of the alumni and of the Member Institution would be improved and the scope of CR could be expanded from Host-Institution to Sending-Institution in a more integrating manner. Besides, the network of engineering academicians, including HI advisors, HI lecturers and other AUN/SEED-Net scholars, in other Member Institutions developed during their graduate studies could be strengthened.

Participating alumni must submit application form and research proposal, including research plan, to AUN/SEED-Net and only 20 alumni with best proposals per year will be selected and granted with the research fund. Outputs of the research must be presented at AUN/SEED-Net Regional Conference/Workshop in the related engineering field.

Objectives

1)	To encourage research continuation of AUN/SEED-Net graduates after they returned home country.
2)	To enhance educational and research capacity of AUN/SEED-Net graduates and Member Institutions.
3)	To boost research collaboration in the nine engineering fields and/or five interdisciplinary research areas among all Member Institutions.
4)	To sustain the network among Member Institutions.

Eligible Applicants

- AUN/SEED-Net Master’s/Doctoral graduates who are faculty staff or research staff at Member Institution.
- Graduates in CLMV countries have higher priority.

Coverage and Expectation

1)	The Program provides research fund of 2,000 USD/ grant to 20 selected alumni. (Breakdown of support is available in the Implementation Guideline.)
2)	The research output should be reported to the Secretariat.

Target Number

20 grants per year

Application

Applicants are required to submit application form endorsed by Dean/Head of Department of their working institution to the Project Office within March 31 each year.

In case the proposed research relates to Collaborative Research (CR), a letter or e-mail of acknowledgement from the concerned principal investigator should be submitted together with the application form.
