Regional Collaborations Programme Round 2 call for applications open

The Australian Academy of Science invites Australian research organisations and businesses to apply for funding for multi-partner projects and/or non-project aligned, multi-partner workshops under round two of the Regional Collaborations Programme. The programme will fund Australian participants from eligible organisations to collaborate with regional and international science, research and innovation partners on solutions to shared regional challenges within the Asia–Pacific region.

Funding of up to $1.38 million is available for collaborative, multi-partner projects. Projects are expected to commence between 1 April 2019 and must be completed by 31 December 2020.

Funding of up to a total of $250,000 is available for non-project aligned, multi-partner workshops. Up to $100,000 per workshop is available for workshops held between 1 April 2019 and 31 December 2020.

Early- and mid-career researchers working on projects eligible to receive funding are encouraged to approach their workplace to apply to the programme.

The application deadline for both the projects and non-project aligned workshops is 30 November 2018.
