Matching Grant
Education Malaysia Jordan (EMJ), an agency at the Embassy of Malaysia in Amman, has facilitated research collaboration projects between universities in Malaysia and Jordan. This collaboration aims to foster innovation and knowledge exchange across all social and applied sciences areas. A total of 423 research proposals have been received since applications opened last February, 2024. The 141 successful applications involved 10 universities in Malaysia and 14 in Jordan. These research projects are part of the second round of the Malaysia-Jordan Matching Grant initiative led by EMJ. The first round, launched in 2022, focused on Applied Sciences and has already seen promising results. Universiti Teknologi MARA recorded the highest number of successful applications with 52 research projects, followed by the National University of Malaysia with 33 research projects, and Multimedia University with 18 research projects while the University of Jordan became the largest research partner in Jordan with 19 research projects, followed by German Jordanian University with 17 research projects, and Middle East University and Isra University with 15 research projects each, the statement said. Malaysian universities involved in this initiative are among the top universities in the world, based on the QS and THE World Ranking 2025, the statement said.
The second round of this collaboration will culminate in signing Memoranda of Understanding and Memoranda of Agreement between the participating Malaysian and Jordanian universities, formalising their commitment to joint research and development.
