The Asian Dynamics Initiative invites researchers at the University of Copenhagen to submit applications for financial support for Asia related initiatives, activities and projects in 2009.

ADI supports new as well as existing initiatives. Researchers at the University of Copenhagen can apply for funding of activities such as workshops, seminars or courses as well as contributions - seed money - to start off new projects. It is also possible to apply for secretarial assistance.
