Participant Eligibility (for Indonesian Applicants)

Proposals must be developed and submitted jointly by research teams from Indonesia and China. On the Indonesian side, applicants must meet the eligibility criteria set by BRIN. Each proposal must involve active collaboration throughout the project duration, with clearly defined roles and shared responsibilities between the Indonesian and Chinese teams. At least one eligible Indonesian institution must be included as a core implementing partner.

Eligible Indonesian institutions include:

• BRIN and non-BRIN research institutions registered in the SEBARIS system;
• Public and private universities in Indonesia;
• Legally registered entities and community-based organizations conducting R&D;
• Local government agencies involved in research and innovation.
• All institutions must have legal entity status in Indonesia. Non-BRIN institutions must also comply with SEBARIS registration requirements.

For Principal Investigators (PIs) and team members:

• PIs must be Indonesian citizens and affiliated with eligible institutions;
• PIs must hold a Ph.D. and demonstrate relevant research experience aligned with the proposed topic;
• A confirmed Chinese partner must be in place at the time of submission;
• An Indonesian researcher may participate in up to two proposals—either one as PI and one as member, or two as member only;
• A PI may lead only one funded project;
• Team size is flexible, but must be reasonable and aligned with the proposed scope and budget.

Only proposals with confirmed collaboration and submitted in parallel to BRIN and MOST within the official timeline will be considered for evaluation.
