The Australian Academy of Science is inviting applications from Australian researchers to participate in European research networks known as COST Actions. COST is a system for research collaboration covering 34 European Member States in 9 scientific research areas (research domains).
In order to deliver the project, the Academy and COST have signed a reciprocal agreement to be trialled for an initial period of two years, which establishes the basis for Australian and European scientists to participate in COST Actions. Under the terms of the agreement and under COST guidelines, Australia is regarded as a country with reciprocal arrangements. Australian researchers travelling to Europe may receive a grant of up to $5,000 per visit (up to $2,500 towards an airfare and up to $2,500 towards daily living allowances), to participate in meetings and short term scientific missions. These meetings/missions must be for five days minimum and three months maximum duration. COST grants up to €2,500 to the European scientist, for travel and subsistence expenses to and within Australia.
Applications are approved and funded in chronological order of receipt until funds have been committed.

Fresh Science offers the potential for wide media exposure. It helps young researchers develop expertise in presenting their ideas clearly to a general audience and to the media.
Fresh Science also assists the media to identify and publish accurate stories about Australian science, and demonstrates that science in Australia is exciting, vibrant and successful. Fresh Science encourages and provides recognition for Australia’s best young scientists and engineers.
The selected researchers are likely to gain substantial media exposure. In previous years our Fresh Scientists have attracted national and international interest resulting in hundreds of media stories in Australia and overseas.
Details of previous winners, their press releases and media coverage can be seen at www.freshscience.org.
What will it involve?
The successful nominees will:
Travel and accommodation will be provided for participants from outside Melbourne.
The Fresh Scientists will also have the chance to win a one-year subscription to New Scientist; and a one-week internship with The Australian newspaper.
Nominations are only accepted via the online form. We recommend you complete the Word version of the form off-line, save it, then cut and paste the information into the online form when ready to submit.
Fresh Science selection criteria
The nominees and prize winner will be selected by the Fresh Science selection committee, which comprises scientists, journalists and science communicators.
The committee is looking for Fresh Scientists who can tell an interesting story in everyday language about their significant, peer-reviewed, scientific achievement.
The initial selection will be made on the basis of the nomination form submitted. This means how the application is written will be used as a guide to the ability of the nominee to communicate in everyday English.
The nominee must write their own entry.
The nominee must have peer-reviewed results; and be able to explain what they have found, not what they are planning to find or discover.
Please note that the committee will select the Fresh Scientists not only on quality of their science, but also on the newsworthiness of their topics. Our selection will also include a spread of disciplines, topics, gender and states.

This award comes with a $30,000 prize and is presented to the submission that makes the most significant contribution to understanding, or resolving local or global environmental problems, through research. This award provides Universities not only with an attractive research award for staff, but also a major opportunity to gain wider public recognition for the University’s environmental contribution.
In 2009 the Banksia Foundation will also be running the Brian Robinson Fellowship which is open to entrants under the age of 35 who are looking for funding in the field of sustainability. Up to $30,000 can be awarded for the winning submission. This grant is designed to encourage future sustainability leaders, giving them the financial support they need to complete important research, embark on new business adventures, or undergo the training they need to succeed.
Banksia also has a range of other awards, and we are keen to involve Universities in promoting these so that they can reward the best work being done in Australia in the field of sustainability. The Banksia Category Awards comprise ten separate Awards and the entry kit provides you with the technical information and criteria for all of the ten awards.
