Applications have now closed
Are you employed or studying in an agricultural, fisheries, forestry, food or natural resource industry and aged between 18 – 35 years?
The Australian Agricultural Industries Young Innovators and Scientists Awards aim to help young Australians with innovative plans to boost the competitiveness of our rural industries.
Winners will receive up to $20 000 each to undertake a project to explore an emerging scientific issue or innovative activity over a 12 month period.
One of these winners will also receive an additional $30 000 as recipient of the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry’s Award, making the premier prize a total of up to $50 000.
Winners can use their funding for individual or industry research projects, industry visits, further study into a specific area or attending conferences to help them develop an idea for an Australian agricultural sector.
Funding is available annually and applications have now closed for the 2008 awards, but keep watching this page for news about future funding rounds and award winners.
