2023 Global Research Council Asia Pacific Regional Meeting
18 – 20 October 2023

The Global Research Council (GRC) regional meeting is an important gathering of research funding organizations used to discuss themes of common interest, establish new connections and collaborations, and advance the objectives of the organization as a whole. It will convene GRC participant research councils across the Asia Pacific Region. International organizations and research institutions from across the globe will also be invited as resource persons to share their views/ideas on top current and emerging regional issues. The DOST envisions that this meeting will promote communication among funders through understanding/sharing of practices and whenever possible, harmonization of processes such as but not limited to monitoring and evaluation (M&E) including terminologies/nomenclature/definitions to facilitate international partnerships.
