Collaborative research for higher level STEM skills in Malaysia
Call submission deadline: 1600hrs GMT 5 December 2017

The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) and the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) are pleased to announce a call to fund high quality research projects stemming from nuclear physics, particle physics & particle astrophysics, astronomy & space science, and accelerators & computing in support of these) or from STFC Laboratories/Facilities. These research projects will deliver transferable skills in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) to raise skills levels in the Malaysian academic research community.

The objective of the call is to deliver significant three-year funding for internationally competitive and innovative collaborative research projects between UK researchers within the STFC community and Malaysian researchers that will help to raise the high-level STEM skills in the Malaysian academic research community . The skills development would be in the context of some of the biggest and most cutting-edge scientific collaborations in the world, for example the Large Hadron Collider, astronomical telescopes and gravitational wave detectors.

Proposals are welcomed from across the remit of STFC, thereby offering scientific projects that have some of the largest and most complex skills requirements in the world within the particle physics, astronomy and nuclear physics research community.
