Joint Research Fund | Research Institute for Sustainable Urban Development

In line with the mission of RISUD by creating innovative solutions to problems generated by high-density urban development, Joint Research Fund is introduced to encourage research collaboration between RISUD members and researchers from local and oversea universities. Under this funding scheme, RISUD provides seed money to support novel and interdisciplinary research with great potential for large external funding. Applicants should specify a timeline for planned research tasks and external sources of funding applications derived from this scheme.
