May 11, 2022Learning to Transform Data into Valuable Information
May 11, 2022The Malaysia Science Endowment (MSE) was proposed to develop mechanisms for collaborative STIE networks and sourcing alternative financing sources. The establishment of MSE is necessary to support new STI institutional governance. Funds will be disbursed through the Research Management Unit (RMU), MRANTI or strategic delivery partners in identified priority areas.
In addition, MSE promotes and forges international partnerships for RDCI with regional, international, and multilateral funding programmes for STI across the globe. These partnerships would attract fund to tackle complex socio-economic and environmental challenges that Malaysia faces as well as based on the nation’s priority areas.
The establishment of MSE is one of the 10 “Leapfrogging Programmes” under the National Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy (NPSTI) 2021-2030. Subsequently, the Cabinet of Malaysia had tasked ASM as the implementing agency to work closely with MOSTI to lay out the groundwork for its establishment in 2022.
