Call for Australia Awards Fellowship 2024/25 proposals are open now!
By fostering closer ties between Australian organizations and their regional partners, the Australia Awards Fellowships seek to expand networks of influence and leadership. Senior and mid-career officials and professionals who can lead their nations to strengthen their institutional capacity and achieve development outcomes in priority areas are the target audience for fellowships.
Australian organizations can apply for funding through Australia Awards Fellowships to host and support a variety of professional development activities, such as study tours, work attachments, supervised research, management or leadership courses, program meetings, and visits, or a combination of these. The duration of a fellowship might range from two weeks to fifty-two weeks. A Fellowship’s adaptability is one of its strongest points. They include teaching Vietnamese government officials about coastal and marine sustainability and conservation, as well as providing specialized training to Timorese physicians working in the endoscopic departments of two prestigious Australian hospitals.
