The South Asian Research Hub invites applications from students and early-career researchers aged 35 years or younger, from South Asian countries. The research must be aligned with the Hub’s thematic areas, providing scalable, publishable solutions that have a direct connection to human wellbeing and the potential to influence policy. Inclusivity is also a fundamental aspect, ensuring that the research addresses diverse perspectives and fosters equitable outcomes. Furthermore, applicants must commit to attending the Hub’s conference, where they will have the opportunity to present their findings and engage in meaningful discussions that contribute to regional development.
