Where we apply

The project portfolio spans econometrics, climate and agriculture, health analytics, information integrity and cultural heritage, which places it inside several distinct funding systems.

European programmes

Work is under way on a project funded under the European Union's Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values programme. Applications to Horizon Europe Pillar 2 are in preparation, with an emphasis on multidisciplinary consortia where demonstrable institutional compute capacity is assessed.

Malaysian national schemes

Ministry of Health and Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation programmes, particularly where a project aligns with national objectives on AI readiness and sovereign computing capacity.

International health and development funders

Wellcome, UK Research and Innovation and comparable bodies, for the population health and climate strands of the portfolio.

Industry and contract research

Sponsored research and consultancy with organisations that hold substantial data, described on the partners page.

Support

Supporting the laboratory

Three things reliably convert into research output here, and all three are open to external support.

PhD studentships

A funded studentship buys three to four years of concentrated work on a single problem, and is the most direct way to put a question onto the laboratory's agenda. Named studentships can be tied to a theme or to a specific project.

Sponsored research

Industry and public sector sponsorship of a defined research programme, with agreed deliverables, shared authorship and access to the resulting methods and code.

Infrastructure

Compute capacity is the binding constraint on several strands of this work. Support directed at hardware, storage or software licensing translates into work that cannot otherwise be attempted.

Research entity status

The MCCML is established as a research entity of the School of Business under the Monash University Malaysia research entity registration process, within the Department of Econometrics and Business Statistics.
