EU Commission | SEA-Europe Joint Funding Scheme
The "Southeast Asia-Europe Joint Funding Scheme for Research and Innovation" (JFS) is an instrument for promoting multilateral research and innovation projects.
Southeast Asia - Europe Joint Call Project consortia must comprise of at least 3 partners from 3 different countries fulfilling the 2+1 rule: Either 2 partners from 2 different Southeast Asian countries and 1 European partner or 2 partners from 2 different European countries and 1 Southeast Asian partner. At least 1 partner from each region must be eligible for JFS funding. Further, the coordinator must be selected from among the partners eligible for funding. The required third partner can be funded by a funding organisation from a country participating in the JFS or bring his own funding.
The proposals have to cover the thematic areas of “Circular Economy” or “Clean, Accessible and Secure Energy Supply” to enhance bi-regional cooperation and develop new partnerships as well as strengthen existing ones. Please read the National Regulations from the funding organisation that you are requesting funding from carefully since the National Regulations may include additional requirements, e.g. certain Technology Readiness Levels.
