Global Science and Technology Diplomacy Fund: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how researchers can access travel and project support for international collaborations through this science and technology fund.

The Global Science and Technology Diplomacy Fund is a program designed to support researchers who are engaging in collaborative scientific work with international partners.

Who it's for

This scheme is specifically intended for researchers who are actively collaborating with priority international partners. It is designed for those engaged in scientific or technological research that requires working across borders to achieve specific academic or developmental goals.

What you get

Successful applicants can receive support for their specific research projects. This assistance includes project support and funding to help cover travel costs, which helps researchers manage the expenses associated with conducting international scientific collaborations and maintaining connections with global partners.

What it costs you

While there is no specific monetary fee mentioned for the scheme, you must invest the time and effort required to complete the formal application process. All applications must be submitted through the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering.

The catch to know

The most important thing to keep in mind is that your research project cannot just be any international collaboration. It must align closely with specific diplomatic priority regions. If your research focus does not match the specific geographic or diplomatic areas currently being prioritized, you may not be eligible for this support.

How to apply

  • Confirm that your research project aligns with the current diplomatic priority regions.
  • Ensure you are collaborating with one of the designated priority international partners.
  • Prepare your documentation regarding your project needs and required travel.
  • Submit your full application through the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering.
