  • Tropical Peatlands and Mangroves

The objective is to deliver significant 2-3 year research funding for internationally competitive and innovative collaborative projects between researchers from Indonesia, Thailand and/or Vietnam and the UK that will allow the pursuit of shared research interests, and which contribute to the economic development and welfare of Indonesia, Thailand and/or Vietnam.

Please note different Southeast Asian partners are taking part in different focus areas. Please see the chart below for clarification of which country is involved in each topic.

Proposals within the themes listed above are welcomed from across the remits of the UK Research Councils.  Recognising the multidisciplinary nature of the thematic areas, the development of interdisciplinary collaborations is particularly welcome.

All proposals will be required to have a UK Principal Investigator, in addition to a Principal Investigator from one or more of the partner countries.

Consortia should consider how their proposal makes the best use of available expertise in the UK and Southeast Asia, the added value of collaboration and how the proposal will meet the requirements of each funding organization.
