A project to grow sustainable manufacturing of Australian technology in India, workshops connecting Australian energy transition researchers and start-ups with India, and an artistic duo who will turn Melbourne's Federation Square into a living canvas are among the recipients of this year's Maitri Research and Cultural Partnerships Grants.
The Maitri (meaning friendship in Sanskrit) grants are administered by the Centre for Australia-India Relations to deepen links with India and allow for closer collaboration between our two countries.
The five Maitri Research Grants will explore opportunities between Australia and India in agribusiness, critical technology, energy transition and advanced manufacturing. This will provide a pathway for commercialisation of Australian research and technical capabilities with India and explore new avenues for industrial collaboration between our countries.
The Maitri Cultural Partnerships support connections between Australian cultural organisations and India's creative sector. This round will fund fourteen collaborations between Australia and India, including three First Nations collaboration projects.
