This grant, offered by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of East Asia Pacific Affairs, is for establishing a regional Young Scientist Exchange Program within the Lower Mekong Initiative (LMI) countries. The program aims to strengthen institutional linkages and cooperation under the LMI’s Education Pillar. Specifically, it will provide research opportunities and facilitate exchange programs for young scientists aged 18-35 from Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, and Burma. Participants will engage with regional institutes on pressing challenges, fostering scientific knowledge, technology, and innovation. The initiative seeks to support youth and young professionals by creating collaborative opportunities through exchanges, joint research, and workshops, ultimately encouraging new ideas vital for sustainable development and bridging regional development gaps.
