🚀 Inspiring two days for research collaboration between 🇪🇺 and 🇻🇳!

A huge thank you to all our partners, speakers, moderators and participants who joined the "Choose Europe for Science" and Technology info sessions in Da Nang and Hanoi. Together, we welcomed about 300 researchers, university representatives and innovation stakeholders, both onsite and online, to explore opportunities for research collaboration with Europe.

💡 1️⃣ What stood out throughout the discussions was that there is no single pathway into international research collaboration. Researchers shared how they started with national funding programmes, mobility schemes or bilateral collaborations, gradually built international networks, and ultimately became part of hashtag projects. Their journeys demonstrated that every experience, partnership and funding opportunity can become a stepping stone towards larger international collaborations.

💡 2️⃣ The sessions also highlighted a key message: Europe has something to offer researchers at every stage of their career. Whether you are an early-career researcher looking for mobility opportunities, an established scientist seeking collaborators, or an institution aiming to strengthen international partnerships, a wide range of European national programmes and Horizon Europe opportunities can support your ambitions.

💡 3️⃣ Beyond funding, the events showcased the strength of hashtag : a diverse and interconnected research ecosystem offering world-class facilities, cutting-edge infrastructures, scientific excellence, interdisciplinary collaboration, and a strong commitment to the principles that underpin excellent research - openness, integrity, academic freedom, international cooperation, and the sharing of knowledge for the benefit of society.

A special thank you to our co-organisers and partners:

👋 Meet the Researchers moving Science forward!
Spotlight ASEAN 🇧🇳🇰🇭🇮🇩🇱🇦🇲🇾🇲🇲🇵🇭🇸🇬🇹🇱🇹🇭🇻🇳

On Fridays, we introduce outstanding researchers from Southeast Asia who are advancing science through Horizon Europe-funded projects. Through their work and experiences, we showcase the vibrant regional community and foster new connections between researchers and institutions across ASEAN and Europe.

Today, prior to our upcoming “Choose Europe for Science” info sessions in Da Nang and Hanoi on 25 and 26 May 2026, we are happy to highlight the work of Doan Thi Nhat Minh. She is a lecturer at Vietnam National University (VNU) - University of Science 🇻🇳 and was part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions RISE project “CARE4C – Carbon smart forestry under climate change”. The research consortia included 19 organisations from 7 countries and was coordinated by the TU München 🇩🇪.

🗣️ “Being part of CARE4C has been an inspiring experience for our team at VNU-HUS. We deepened our understanding of forest carbon dynamics by integrating research on carbon sequestration and emissions from forest operations to develop carbon-smart management strategies under climate change. Interdisciplinary exchanges and researcher mobility connected us with leading European institutions, strengthened our scientific capacity, and enhanced our ability to support sustainable forestry practices and climate adaptation efforts in Vietnam.”

💡 Project Overview: https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/778322
Carbon smart forestry under climate change (CARE4C) combined high level expertise and state of the art research in the context of carbon management in forests with advanced career building qualification by teaching, training and involving ESR's. CARE4C aimed at substantially expanding knowledge about carbon sink by forest growth and carbon source by forest operations in order to enable carbon smart forestry under climate change. The research team traced the knowledge from understanding to modelling and application, and followed a clear dissemination strategy by training and teaching, publications in scientific journals and by involving forest related stakeholders and the public.

ℹ️ Under Horizon Europe, the MSCA Staff Exchanges (SE) succeeded the MSCA RISE programme. The MSCA SE action funds short-term international and inter-sectoral exchanges of staff members involved in research and innovation activities of participating organisations. https://tinyurl.com/25e3kv4d

🇮🇩🇪🇺Selamat datang! 🇮🇩🇪🇺

This workshop was a fantastic example of how Indonesian universities are preparing to engage more strongly in international research and innovation collaboration with Europe.

From 11–13 May 2026, Universitas Surabaya (UBAYA) (UBAYA) (UBAYA) in East Java hosted a three-day Workshop on Grant Proposal Writing. The event was organised by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology of Indonesia and brought together 53 participants from 29 higher-education institutions across Central Java, East Java, Bali and Lombok/ East Nusa Tenggara. The researchers joined three intensive training days with Dr Tatas Brotosudarmo from ASEAN who guided and trained them on how to analyse calls for proposals from the perspectives of expected outcomes and impacts, how to use an impact canvas and examples drawn from CORDIS, and formulate strong impact statements for grant applications.

Proud to engage all these institutions!

🇮🇩 ➕ 🇪🇺🟰 🤝 🔬 🫶
And now comes the exciting next step: checking which of these institutions are already involved in projects and where new Europe-Indonesia research partnerships can grow!
👉 Hint: While the University of Brawijaya and Petra Christian University are part of HE project consortia, many of the other institutions are looking forward to establishing partnerships! Let's connect!
