Beasiswa Scholarship for Muslim Scholars
The Asian Muslim Action Network (AMAN) is pleased to announce the sixth round of the research fellowship program, Islam in Southeast Asia: View from within.
The fellowship grants will be awarded for innovative research on issues concerning economic, socio-political and cultural changes taking place in the diverse Muslim communities of Southeast Asia, especially as they relate to modernization and globalization.
Themes
Popular Islam
"Popular Islam" focuses on encouraging researchers to examine ways in which Islamic beliefs and practices reach all believers and are reflected through various means of religious. communication such as studying Khutbah in local mosques, reading Islamic booklets, and/ or listening to Muslim radio programs. The question of how Islam can shape and influence, while at the same time is being shaped by, the lives of ordinary Southeast Asian Muslims in various local contexts is just one aspect of this topic that could be analyzed.
Globalization and Identity Politics
Muslim communities in Southeast Asia are not immune from globalization processes. New forms of economic and political integration on a world scale and the accelerated flows of goods, people and information across the globe all create new opportunities and challenges for Muslims in the region. The interaction of global and regional forces with local processes has been perceived both as a threat to Muslim identities and as beneficial to the development of a new transnational Islam. This research theme seeks to explore how Muslim identities in Southeast Asia are formed and shaped by regional and globalizing forces.
Islam and Changing Gender Realities
Rapidly evolving social, cultural and economic processes are leading to unprecedented changes in the societal roles of men and women. Muslim communities in Southeast Asia are being confronted with a diversity of values and lifestyles expressing multiple definitions of gender roles and relationships not always in line with dominant values. This research area encourages researchers to examine how gender roles in both the public and private sphere are changing for Muslims in Southeast Asia and relate those changes to current theological and political debates.
Islam Values, Economic Activities and Social Responsibilities
Studies in this area should examine how Islamic values and institutions can provide alternative economic options to those perceived as condradictory to Qur'anic principles such as riba. Area of focus could include identifying how Islamic economic values work in a modern business environment, analysis of indigenous entrepreneurial models that have been or can be utilized for local level empowerment and/ or studies of the lives of entrepreneurs and the ways Islamic values shape and are re-shaped by their economic activities and social responsibilities.
Eligibility
Candidates must be nationals of Southeast Asian countries, hold at least a Bachelor degree and should not be over 40 years of age.
Candidates may work in different sectors including academia, media, and non-governmental organizations. Candidate must be highly motivated to deepen their understanding of Islam in the region.
Women are strongly encouraged to apply.
Fellowship Value
The fellowship consists of an average research grant of $5,000 to cover all research costs for a maximum period of six months in the original country of resercher, and funded participation in mentoring workshops.
The Secretariat will arrange for editing, publication and distribution of the report in a "work in progress" series.
Application Procedure
To apply for this fellowship program, candidates need to submit a complete research proposal. Proposed research projects should include sufficient details so that it can be judged for its merit and feasibility.
The candidates can download the application form from our website as a MS Word document. Applications by e-mail are also accepted.

Beasiswa Riset Irlandia S2 S3
IRCSET’s Embark Postgraduate Research Scholarship Scheme is designed for either Masters or Doctorate level researchers in the sciences, engineering or technology.
2008 Programme [First Call] NOW OPEN
PLEASE NOTE: Due technical problems with the IRCSET Online Applications System and the high volume of applications, applicants who are attempting to submit at the present time may be experiencing difficulties.
In light of these technical difficulties, the deadline for applications has been extended until 5pm on Wednesday 27th February, 2008. The new deadline for referees and supervisors is 5pm Wednesday 5th March, 2008.
Applicants are encouraged to log on in the coming days and submit their proposal. We apologise for any concern or inconvenience caused.
The Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering & Technology invites applications for funding from intending postgraduate researchers under the Embark Postgraduate Research Scholarship Scheme (2008).
This first call in the 2008 programme will fund up to 165 Masters or Doctorate level researchers in the sciences, engineering and technology.
The scheme is open to candidates worldwide with a number of scholarships also being available to exceptional candidates from non EU member states.
A number of additional scholarships will be jointly funded by industry as part of IRCSET Enterprise Partnership Scheme (see below for details). This scheme fosters mutually beneficial collaboration between the academic and commercial research sectors.
Please link here for the news release announcing the 2008 programme.
INTENDING CANDIDATES SHOULD READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION PRIOR TO SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION.

Applicants can indicate on their application if in addition to consideration for an Embark Initiative award they also wish to be considered for an Enterprise Partnership Scheme scholarship.
Through the Enterprise Partnership Scheme scholars are co-funded by both IRCSET and an Enterprise Partner. Industry’s participation and co-funding role has enabled IRCSET to support many more young researchers in Irish research bodies.

One of its primary aims is to show students how the humanities are relevant to a deeper understanding of past and present medical and scientific issues.
The breadth of the course`s methods ranges from socio-cultural models to analytical approaches. The programme provides the necessary research training that will either link into further PhD study or act as a stand alone MA; and candidates who have successfully completed the programme will be eligible to take part in the annual Wellcome Trust PhD studentship competition. Further information on the HPSM Masters Programme and the teaching staff can be found on the website at http://www.dur.ac.uk/hpsm.ma/index.html. Applications for the studentship are invited from highly motivated graduates from various backgrounds including arts and humanities subjects, science, and medicine (including medical students who have successfully completed stage 4 - i.e. four years of medical training - of a qualifying medical degree at an approved university) with a high mark on their first degree (or equivalent) who will commit themselves to a dissertation on a subject within the History of Medicine.
Overseas applicants are also strongly encouraged to apply. We are particularly welcoming applications that link into research interests within the CHMD. Please see the CHMD website for further information (www.dur.ac. uk/chmd) or email the Director (a.h.maehle@durham. ac.uk) or Deputy Director (l.d.sauerteig@durham.ac.uk) of the CHMD for further advice.

Beasiswa Scholarship MBA Singapura
The Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) was established in 1989 in response to the growing interdependence among economies in the Asia-Pacific region.
At the APEC Leaders Meeting in 1996, Singapore proposed the establishment of regional education hubs in APEC member economies to achieve a network of education hubs that will contribute to the collective learning of APEC members. APEC member economies may offer to host hubs in one or a few areas of specialisation. Scholars from different economies with common interests can study together and interact with each other. This encourages multi-dimensional exchange and thus facilitates greater understanding among people of different economies.
Singapore offered to host two regional education hubs in the areas of Business Studies and Public Policy at our two Universities [i.e. Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and National University of Singapore]. A number of APEC Scholarships will be offered to outstanding candidates from APEC member economies to pursue a programme of study at one of these two hubs.
