Vietnam-Australia Science, Technology and Innovation Cooperation
Funds Vietnam-linked science and technology teams working with Australian partners on energy, marine, and recycling research.
Eligibility · Vietnam-Australia cooperation
The Vietnam-Australia Science, Technology and Innovation Cooperation call is a NAFOSTED funding route for science, technology, and innovation tasks connected to cooperation between Vietnam and Australia. The source identifies three eligible fields: renewable energy, sustainable marine economy, and recycling and waste management.
The Vietnamese-side support has separate caps by task type. The source states a VND 8.000 million cap for applied research, which is recorded here as the maximum native award amount. The source also states a VND 2.400 million cap for basic research, so applicants should read the call carefully before treating the maximum as available to every project.
Eligible applicants include agencies, organizations, and enterprises active in science, technology, and innovation in Vietnam, or outside Vietnam when they have rights and obligations under Vietnamese law. The call is therefore open to company applicants, but it is still a cooperation call and applicants should expect to show a Vietnam-linked legal path and an Australia-side partner.
Applications are filed through the STM online system or by signed hard-copy route where applicable. The stated intake deadline is 21:00 Vietnam time on 20 July 2026. The source gives limited scoring detail in the captured text, so applicants should use the official call page and STM instructions for forms, partner documents, and evaluation details.
Renewable energy, sustainable marine economy, and recycling and waste management projects developed under Vietnam-Australia science, technology, and innovation cooperation.
