A Pivotal Moment for Science and Scholarship in Armenia

Armenia’s greatest asset has always been the intellectual caliber of its people. This “natural resource” has been famous for groundbreaking work in a variety of fields, as well as in its impact on the social and cultural development of the nation. ANSEF provides grants to scientists and scholars in Armenia to continue their important work, emphasizing the importance of young scientists. ANSEF also develops educational programs that can help tackle some of the challenges that the education system in Armenia faces.

Our Call to Arms

A $5000 research grant is able to support for a full year on average two to three scientists in Armenia in their continued efforts to sustain world class science research and education.

Hence, the Armenian National Science and Education Fund (ANSEF) was established in 2000 - modeled on western science funding agencies such as the National Science Foundation - and adapted to Armenia’s special needs. For the past years, we have provided in excess of 2.5 million dollars to over 2000 scientists in Armenia. This has resulted in hundreds of publications from Armenia on the cutting edge of the Physical Sciences, Engineering, the Natural Sciences, the Humanities, and the Social Sciences. Through your donations to ANSEF, we hope to continue and expand our work to help Armenian scientists and scholars continue their work and to correspondingly strengthen Armenia and Armenian culture.
