Grant Opportunities for Bachelor Research Support

Background

Open Development Cambodia (ODC) is an ‘open data’ website, the first of its kind in Southeast Asia. The open data movement is based on the simple premise that data collected for public interest should be publicly available without restrictions. Information or data in the public domain should be freely available to everyone to use and republish as they wish. Open Development Cambodia does not promote any particular perspective, agenda or bias other than to provide objective information about Cambodia and its development. ODC has been promoting open data and any activities that encourage the use and provision of open data.

In 2021, Open Development Cambodia (ODC) signed an MoU with Svay Rieng University (SRU) for academic cooperation. ODC and Svay Rieng University have agreed to support joint projects or research with the faculties or students in the future based on its merits and availability of funds. That said, ODC is pleased to offer thesis research grants to students conducting their final year research thesis.

In the 2022-2023 academic year, ODC and Svay Rieng University are pleased to announce the research travel grant to the students of Svay Rieng University, who are doing their research and writing thesis for their final year.

Research areas

ODC will consider applications from students conducting research related to the following topics:

    • Digital Economy
    • Digital Government
    • Digital Business, Investment, and Environmental protection
    • Information and communications technology

*** Students are advised to use some of ODC’s resources for the research.

Eligibility

To be eligible for the research grants, students should:

    • Be enrolled in the last year of their Bachelor’s Degree at the Svay Rieng University.
    • Be willing/able to conduct their final year research thesis.
    • Focus their research around the areas suggested above.

The proposal is clear in terms of topic, methodology, timeframe, and explanation of the importance of research funding.

Funding

The research grant will be awarded to THREE STUDENTS/TEAMS on the amount of 1,400,000 Riels (USD 350) per student/team. Teachers who will be mentoring the selected students will also be awarded 200,000 Riles (USD 50).
