Applications for Wine Australia travel bursaries

You are invited to apply for Wine Australia’s travel and visiting scholar bursaries, for travel that commences between 1 July and 31 December 2016. Applications close 1 April 2016 at 5pm (Australian Central Daylight Time).

Travel bursaries can fund travel, study tours or conferences that you wish to attend to develop your knowledge and skills in your area of research, and network with the international research community.

Visiting scholar bursaries can bring international experts to Australia to participate in workshops, meetings, conferences, symposia or research projects.

Each year, Wine Australia invests in travel bursaries and in visiting scholar bursaries with applications open every six months.

In the 2016–17 financial year, at least 15 travel bursaries are on offer and funding is available for at least 2 visiting scholars to participate in information dissemination to the Australian grape and wine community.

The application process gives preference to those who are currently making, or who are potentially able to make, a significant contribution to research and the travel must relate to their research interest and expertise.

Applicants are advised to consult the Australian Grape and Wine Authority Strategic Plan 2015–2020 and the guidelines for both the travel and scholar bursaries when developing their applications.
