Award Profile
As the largest country in Southeast Asia, Indonesia is rich in its biodiversity and cultural diversity, boasting many accolades. With more than 300 ethnic groups and more than 700 spoken languages, Indonesia is included in the list of 17 mega-diverse countries. Currently, the fourth most populous country in the world, Indonesia is also the third largest democracy with an increasing economic power, as proven by its G20 membership. With all of these opportunities come many challenges, making Indonesia a hotbed for research in various fields of study.
The Fulbright Commission in Indonesia (AMINEF) provides grants for a 10-month individual research project, carried out as part of a doctoral or master’s degree program, or for a non-degree research project. Grantees have conducted research ranging from orangutan, rainforest, Indonesian pop music, economics, politics, history, cultural anthropology, linguistics, etc.
Conducting research in Indonesia has been proven a rewarding experience for many Fulbrighters. Besides working on their projects, Fulbright Student Researchers will also meet, live with, and learn from Indonesians, sharing daily experiences. At the end of their grant, Grantees not only will learn more about this fascinating country but also build meaningful connections with Indonesians.
