Special Joint Project Programmes: Australia

The Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia, the Australian Academy of the Humanities and the British Academy have launched a new scheme for the support of joint projects between British and Australian scholars. One award (of up to £8,000) for a project which covers both humanities and social sciences disciplines, or two awards (of up to £4,000 per project) will be available each year, to cover travel and maintenance expenses.

Level of award: up to £4,000/£2,000 for the British partner, and an equivalent sum from the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia and/or the Australian Academy of the Humanities.

Period of award: one year (possible extension of up to one year on reapplication).

Closing date: Wednesday 7 October 2009 (by close of business Australian Eastern Daylight Time)

Further information: For this year's competition, the administration of the scheme will be undertaken by our Australian partners. All applications must therefore be submitted to the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia by the closing deadline. For further information please go to the following website: http://www.assa.edu.au/programs/international/research_uk.php
