I. Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Center for Environmental Intelligence (CEI) is proud to announce the launch of its ENVISION Grant Program for 2024. ENVISION stands for \u201d \u201cENVironmental Innovation for Sustainability and Intelligent solutiONs\u201d, reflecting our commitment to fostering innovative solutions for environmental challenges and sustainable development.<\/p>\n

The 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) saw Vietnam make a commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. However, without immediate action, Vietnam is projected to lose approximately 12 to 14.5 percent of its GDP annually, according to the World Bank, due to the impacts of environmental pollution and climate change. Environmental stewardship \u2014 encompassing adaptation to climate changes, mitigation of emissions, and fostering a sustainable culture \u2014 is quickly becoming a key prerequisite for Vietnam\u2019s growth strategy.<\/p>\n

Acknowledging the urgent need of this new era to be both technologically creative and environmentally responsible, the\u00a0Center for Environmental Intelligence (CEI)<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0focuses on understanding and addressing environmental and sustainability challenges through interdisciplinary approaches. These approaches integrate insights from fields such as environmental sciences, computer sciences, economics, and green technology. CEI strives to drive transformative solutions for a sustainable future and facilitate connections among experts from around the world to collectively solve sustainable development issues on a global scale.<\/p>\n

The Center focuses its resources on four main pillars: (i) Environmental Monitoring; (ii) Living lab: smart cities, energy efficiency, and green technologies; (iii) Digital Materials Science; and (iv) Environmental Sustainability\/Community Resilience.<\/p>\n

II. Funding Opportunities<\/strong><\/p>\n

The CEI ENVISION Grant Program 2024 offers two categories of funding to support research initiatives aligned with our four main pillars:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. ENVISION Grassroots Grants<\/strong>: Up to $20,000 per project<\/li>\n
  2. ENVISION Flagship Grants<\/strong>: Up to $250,000 per project<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    ENVISION Grassroots Grants<\/strong><\/p>\n

    These smaller-scale projects are designed to kickstart research and proposal development processes. They aim to generate preliminary outcomes that can enhance the likelihood of success for larger external funding proposals.<\/p>\n

    ENVISION Flagship Grants<\/strong><\/p>\n

    These larger initiatives are intended to support more comprehensive research efforts that have the potential for significant impact in addressing environmental and sustainability challenges.<\/p>\n

    III. Eligibility<\/strong><\/p>\n

    All full-time faculty members at VinUniversity are eligible to apply. In cases where there is insufficient funding available to support all high-scoring proposals, priority may be given to funding proposals submitted by early career, research-active faculty members.<\/p>\n

    IV. Application Process<\/strong><\/p>\n
