Although research collaboration between AC21 members is important, this fund is not intended to support particular or individual research projects. It is awarded to projects that include as many participants as possible. For example, a symposium jointly held by three or more institutions, featuring speakers from these institutions, and open to all AC21 members, as well as to the general public, will serve the goal of internationalization and cooperation between members more effectively compared to simple research projects conducted by one or two individuals per institution.
The AC21 Special Project Fund (SPF) was created in order to promote the development of research and educational exchange between AC21 members by providing "seed funding" for a variety of collaborative research projects and activities.
