The Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE), in collaboration with the Australian Academy of Science, will deliver the Australian Government’s Global Science and Technology Diplomacy Fund (GSTDF) Strategic Element, to open up a world of science and technology enterprise for Australian researchers and innovators.
By identifying and supporting strategic international science and research collaborations, the fund will play a pivotal role in advancing science and technology landscape in the Asia-Pacific region.
The program consolidates international science programs in the Industry, Science, Energy and Resources portfolio and is designed to create efficiencies and allow for a greater focus on supporting strategically important international science, research, and technology collaborations with partners in the Asia-Pacific Region.
