BRICS STI Framework Launches Global Call for Joint Research in Water, AI, Energy, Health and Food

The BRICS Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) framework has issued a worldwide research invitation. The call seeks joint projects in five priority areas: water, artificial intelligence, energy, health and food. Member countries aim to pool resources and expertise to address shared challenges. The initiative encourages participation from institutions beyond the BRICS bloc. Proposals will be evaluated on their potential impact and collaborative strength. Successful projects may receive funding and technical support from the framework. Officials highlight the need for coordinated research to meet sustainable development goals. The deadline and detailed guidelines are available on the BRICS STI portal.
