Grants to support multidisciplinary research focused on Southeast Asia
Applications for the 2025 SSEAC Incubator and Ignition Grant schemes are now closed.
SSEAC is passionate about supporting outstanding collaborative research in Southeast Asia. Our Incubator and Ignition Grant schemes will enable emerging and established researchers to grow their collaborative research in Southeast Asia, and address some of the Grand Challenges of significance to the region.
These grant schemes will contribute to SSEAC’s mission of Fostering impactful research and trusted knowledge partnerships in Southeast Asia.
Grant schemes
Incubator Grants will support early- and mid-career researchers at the University of Sydney to implement formative research to address challenges of significance to Southeast Asia through multidisciplinary collaboration. These grants will position researchers to develop and submit highly competitive applications for external funding.
Ignition Grants will support University researchers with established research partnerships in Southeast Asia, whose research has a rapid upward trajectory. These grants will provide larger award funding that enables researchers to scale up their work and position them for ambitious, large-scale external research funding.
Key dates
Our Grant schemes will open again in early 2026.
