Australia-European Union Collaboration Program 2014
The Australian Academy
of Science (AAS), on behalf of the Australian Government Department of
Industry, invites applications for funding from Australian consortia who
are a partner in an application under the
European Commission (EC) Horizon 2020 programme.
The objective of the
Australia- European Union (EU) Collaboration Program is to broker
strategic research partnerships with the EU under the Horizon 2020
programme and support strategic cooperative research with
Europe.
Two grants of $200,000
(AUD) each excl. GST are available. Australian applications will be
assessed using a merit based competitive process which is based on the
collaborative value of the project to Australian
research and industry following the successful assessment of the EC
application. These grants will be offered as seed funding to encourage
Australian consortia to participate in projects with European consortia
under the first tranche of calls (calls that
close on or before 29 April 2014) of Horizon 2020, which are currently open for application.
Information on the Horizon 2020 calls currently open for applications can be found on the Horizon 2020 website ‒

must consist of at least three participants from across Australian
public and private sector research organisations and include at least
one industry partner.

can now be submitted by Australian consortia that have partnered in a
European application submitted to Horizon 2020 as part of the first
