The Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE) receives funding from the Australian Federal Government International Science Linkages – Science Academies Programme (ISL-SAP) to fund Frontiers of S&T Missions and Workshops during the financial year 2009-10.
The International Science Linkages (ISL) Programme supports Australian scientists, from both the public and private sectors, to collaborate with international partners on leading edge science and technology in order to contribute to Australia’s economic, social and environmental wellbeing. ISL – SAP component provides targeted support to Australia’s scientific academies for specific activities using their networks and expertise to promote international S&T collaboration involving Australians.
In order to strengthen and further the objectives of the International Science Linkages – Science Academies Progamme, ATSE is offering Australian researchers an opportunity to submit expressions of interest for international activities during the financial year 2009-2010. The closing date for EOI forms is Monday 10 November 2008, 5.00 pm EST.
Further Information and EOI proposals
ATSE uses input and output measures to report on the efficiency and effectiveness of activities and ATSE is required to provide the Federal Government with copies of these reports.
ATSE is funded to support Frontiers of S&T Missions and Workshops through the following activities:
- overseas missions by Australian scientists and technologists and missions by overseas researchers in similar disciplines into Australia;
- participation by Australia’s scientific and technological community in workshops held outside Australia by foreign organisations;
- workshops held in Australia in which a significant number of the lead participants are from outside Australia; and
- a programme of site visits arranged in conjunction with workshops referred to in sub-items (b) and (c), but the workshops must be the predominant activity.
Please note overseas missions or workshops must comprise at least five members who are Australian scientists and technologists. |
