Applications are closing soon for the Australia–India Strategic Research Fund (AISRF) Early- and Mid-Career Researcher (EMCR) Fellowships 2019.

The deadline for applications is 9 am (AEST) Wednesday 12 September 2018. 

The EMCR Fellowships provide support (up to A$16,500) for Australian researchers to travel to India and work with leading researchers at major Indian science and technology organisations for a period of between 1 and 3 months.

They are intended to facilitate long-term science, technology and innovation collaboration between Australia and India by:

• developing researchers’ expertise in international collaboration and fostering long-term relationships between Australian and Indian researchers

• increasing Australian researchers’ understanding of Indian culture, particularly the science and research practices and systems

• developing the researchers’ leadership skills as future ‘science ambassadors’ for Australia

• providing a catalyst for future Australia–India research collaboration.
