PAIR YPD-RR grant scheme

We are pleased to announce the call for applications for a new research scheme from The Australia-Indonesia Centre via the Partnership for Australia-Indonesia Research (PAIR) program. This is a closed call, open only to researchers from The University of Melbourne, Institut Teknologi Bandung, Universitas Indonesia and Universitas Hasanuddin.

PAIR is a development initiative that brings together researchers, policymakers, business and community groups to find solutions to real problems. With a focus on the province of South Sulawesi, PAIR’s research explores four areas: commodities; transport, logistics and supply chain; young people, health and wellbeing; and young people and development. We are investigating what the new railway line that is currently under construction in the province means for local communities, how they respond to change, and how they can take advantage of emerging opportunities.

The Young People and Development Rapid Research (YPD-RR) grant scheme is part of the PAIR initiative. The scheme focuses on the theme: Young People and Development in South Sulawesi – young people aged between 16 and 30, Indonesia’s largest demographic group.

Projects funded under this scheme will complement the focus of the PAIR Young People and Development research team, which is made up of researchers from The University of Melbourne, Institut Teknologi Bandung, Universitas Indonesia and Universitas Hasanuddin. These universities are among the most advanced and innovative in both countries, and provide invaluable expertise and insight to PAIR via our research partnership.

Each YPD-RR project proposal will focus on an analysis of education opportunities (vocational education and training and higher education) or skills gaps, including industry needs in one sector chosen from below:

  • Health and wellbeing – e.g. skills needs of frontline health workers, health systems
  • Commodities – e.g. seaweed farming
  • Transport – airport, seaport and public transport
  • Logistics and supply chain
  • Tourism
  • Digital economy

I would be grateful if you could share the information about YPD-RR scheme with researchers from all fields, and encourage them to submit an application. Applications close on 30 June 2021 5pm (Australian Eastern Standard Time). The AIC will gladly answer any questions researchers may have about the scheme via pair@australiaindonesiacentre.org.
