The Albanese Government is cementing Australia's reputation as a trusted science research partner with $6.3 million in grants as part of Round 2 of the Global Science and Technology Diplomacy Fund - Strategic Element (GSTDF-SE).
The GSTDF-SE is designed to forge deep international science relationships with some of our closest partners in Brazil, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, New Zealand, and South Korea.
The targeted grants range from $100,000 to $1 million to support activities that contribute to a priority theme in collaboration with at least one identified priority partner.
The priority themes are:
- Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- Advanced Manufacturing
- RNA (including mRNA) vaccines and therapies
- Hydrogen Production
- Quantum Computing
The GSTDF-SE brings researchers and companies together from across the globe, helping Australia boost science and technology endeavours, grow economies, give local researchers funding and technology access, and support the science potential of partner countries.
The GSTDF-SE is delivered by the Australian Academy of Technology, Science and Engineering (ATSE) in partnership with the Australian Academy of Science (AAS).
