The Seeds of Science, Asia program is conducted by the International Science Council’s Regional Focal Point for Asia and the Pacific (ISC-RFP-AP) in collaboration with International Network for Governmental Science Advice (INGSA-Asia). This programme aims to encourage and to empower science and policy communities to work together towards more adaptive, evidence-informed and forward-looking governance across Asia and Australia.
This programme provides opportunity for scientists, researchers, academics and practitioners in Asia to share their knowledge and insights with members of the scientific community and policy makers in their respective countries and supports collaborative work and capacity building initiatives that strengthen science, innovation and knowledge partnerships between countries across Asia and Australia.
This programme will be offering grants of up to A$ 15,000 each to successful applicants with well-outlined proposals to organize workshops, trainings, focused advocacies and wider activities promoting science advice at an institutional or national level in their respective countries.
Interested applicants are expected to directly submit their applications to the ISC.
Deadline for applications submission: 27th April 2026
