Industry Engagement Seed Funding

Proposals are invited from the astronomy community to advance their industry engagement projects. Astronomy Australia Ltd. (AAL) has a budget of up to $100K to advance the collaboration(s) between astronomy groups and industry partners. Furthermore, AAL expects that its investment in industry engagement portfolio may continue beyond the initial seed funding period, but subject to funding availability.
AAL Industry Engagement Seed Funding proposals may include, but not limited to:

• Funding projects that assist in solving industry problems.
• Funding projects that assist in commercializing technology through industry partnerships.
• Funding assistance towards preparing joint proposals between academics and industry for third-party funding e.g. ARC Linkage Project Grants.

Please note:  

• Only proposals from academic or technical staff working in an Australian University or research organisation on a project that involves industry engagement will be considered.
