The Academy has selected nine Australian early- and mid-career researchers to collaborate with scientists in research institutions in France in 2016 under the France–Australia Science Innovation Collaboration (FASIC) Early- and Mid-Career Fellowships. Researchers in any field of the natural sciences, including technology, engineering and medicine were encouraged to apply. This activity is being funded by the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science.
Rod Rickards Fellowships have been awarded in 2016 to three researchers to allow them to travel to Europe to undertake research in chemistry or biology—Dr Andrey Molotnikov from Monash University, Dr Katrina Witt from Deakin University and Dr Pu Xiao from UNSW Australia.
The Australian Academy of Science invites applications from Australian early career researchers for the Australia–India Early- and Mid-Career (EMCR) Fellowships. The fellowships will provide support to EMCRs to visit India and work with leading Indian science and technology organisations to facilitate long-term science, technology and innovation collaboration between Australia and India.
The Australian Academy of Science invites applications from Australian researchers to undertake Postdoctoral Fellowships in Japan during 2017–18. The fellowships are for a period of 12 to 24 months.
Dr Kim van Netten of the University of Newcastle has been selected to represent Australia at the international event Falling Walls in Berlin encouraging links between research, business and innovation.
The International Council for Science (ICSU) is a non-government organisation with a global membership of 48 international scientific unions and interdisciplinary science bodies. These organisations convene scientists within and across the disciplines to coordinate research and address issues of global significance.
Nine Australian early- and mid-career researchers (EMCRs) took part in an innovative trilateral symposium with young scientists from the US and Indonesia in August.
