The “Asia-Europe Science & Technology Diplomacy Report” is part of the Asia-Europe Science & Technology Diplomacy Initiative, and is a new project led by the Education Department. The report aims to map out the different science and technology diplomacy strategies across ASEF member countries, the European Union and ASEAN, and provide insights and recommendations to the relevant institutions on areas for enhanced collaboration within and across the two regions.
ASEF is inviting young academics, diplomats, professionals, and students between 18-35 years old to express their interest in becoming Country Informants and work with us on this report.
The Country Informants are expected to allocate 10-12 hours a month in the period of June to October 2024 to:
- conduct desk research based on a questionnaire provided by ASEF,
- lead 2-3 interviews with key stakeholders in the field, and
- summarise their findings in a narrative country report of approx. 2-3 pages.
- attend monthly check-in meetings with ASEF and fellow Country Informants
To learn more about the Asia-Europe Science & Technology Diplomacy Initiative and the report, please take a look at the Open Call Webpage.
The deadline for applications is on Sunday, 9 June 2024.
