Bavaria-Queensland Research Alliance Funding Program
Both programs aim to establish sustainable relationships between Bavarian and Queensland partners by supporting collaborative research that addresses critical global challenges such as:
- climate change
- health system strains
- technological advancements
Information Session
To provide an opportunity for researchers from Queensland and Bavaria to hear more about the program, ask questions, and connect with fellow researchers the Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation together with the Bavaria-Australia Coordination Unit are excited to invite interested people to a virtual information session.
This event will take place online on 9th at 9am (Bavaria)/5pm (Queensland). Registration is needed in order to participate. Registrations will close on 2nd April.
