Australia and India become partners in scientific discovery
Australian and Indian researchers are teaming up to pursue new ideas, from non-invasive tools for detecting cancer to better techniques for monitoring the health of our oceans.
With funding of $65 million from the Australian Government, and matching funding from the Government of India, the Australia-India Strategic Research Fund is powering innovation in critical areas like oncology, marine science, agriculture, water management and nanotechnology.
“By working in partnership with India, we bring new perspectives and more resources to tackling our shared challenges,” Senator Carr said. “Both nations can maximise the value of their research investments by pooling funding, and sharing skills, equipment and facilities”.
Senator Carr noted that India is acknowledged as an emerging global power in science and technology.
“We share many common areas of research interest with India and we have a lot to offer each other,” Senator Carr said.
“By working together we can help ensure that our researchers can realise their incredible potential, for the benefit of communities across the globe”.
