Science and Technology (S&T) Track
The Science and Technology (S&T) Track offers you the flexibility to choose courses for skills that best meet your needs. We have partnered with Coursera to curate nine technical academies offered by top universities in the United States that specifically align with the priority areas identified by APASTI 2016-2025.
Each academy consists of three to five concentrations you can choose from to offer you a comprehensive and tailored learning experience.
With the flexibility to choose courses and skills that meet your unique needs and interests, you will be equipped with the knowledge and experience to excel in your field. Join us today and take the first step toward achieving your goals.

STIC Research and Publishing Seed Grant
Annually, the US-ASEAN Science, Technology, and Innovation Cooperation (STIC) Program will make available $50,000 USD to help kickstart up to four research and publishing projects while at the same time building grantsmanship capacity among its learners. The STIC Research and Publishing Seed Grant competition exposes participants to a formal grant application process and presentation of an idea in a poster session at the annual conference. If awarded, the program will also help develop skills to manage sponsored funds to conduct a research project and report results. Proposals must be linked to one of the nine technical academies from the Science and Technology (S&T) Track from the STIC Talent Mobility Portal. Although basic research projects will be considered, the program seeks applied research concepts that show a real-world application or those that produce data that could be used to influence policy formulation in the ASEAN member states.
