Covid-19 has demonstrated the value of international collaborative research in science. The UK has played a significant role in the international effort to make the unprecedented scientific advances required to control the global viral pandemic. 

Inspiring young people to engage, innovate and communicate in science and scientific research is a core part of our education work in Malaysia. 

Our science partnerships enable students, teachers and researchers to be seen at the leading edge of technological progress in East Asia.

Our ability to bring the leading policymakers, institutions, researchers and scientific communities from the UK and Malaysia together means we create extraordinary collaborations and scientific impact, generating life-changing opportunities far into the future.
