It has afforded a pivotal platform for the transformation and elevation of knowledge, careers and global networking for successful recipients.
Recipients are presented with an exceptional opportunity for international placement at recognised host institutions offering short-term attachment programmes. This enables distinguished young Malaysians to engage in collaborative efforts that enhance their work, expertise, and achievements.
It facilitates collaborations and working relationships with global experts in their field of study, creating a unique and critical platform for knowledge transfer. This in turn increases the expertise and experience of recipients as they collaborate, build, and innovate upon their own body of work.
The Grant also provides an opportunity for members of society to be a part of this exciting initiative that brings positive change while developing wholesome community initiatives.
