These grants will provide targeted financial support to help scale already
tested activities that address emerging challenges or opportunities in any
sector of Vietnam’s innovation system, according to the Australian Embassy in
Vietnam.
Grants of between 100,000 AUD and 1,000,000 AUD will be awarded on a competitive
basis to existing partnerships between Australian and Vietnamese institutions
for activities that can demonstrate a clear pathway for scale or sustainability
in Vietnam.
Grantees will have up to 12 months to implement their proposed activities.
The launch of this Grant programme is another step to bolster the dynamic and
substantial innovation partnership between Australia and Vietnam, which was
established to create new and lasting connections in science, technology, and
innovation between the two countries, said Craig Chittick, Australian Ambassador
to Vietnam.
The Innovation Partnership Grant is an important part of the 10 million AUD
Aus4Innovation programme which is being carried out in four year (2018-2020). It
is co-funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT)
and InnovationXchange (IXC), managed by the Australian Commonwealth Scientific
and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), and in strategic collaboration
with the Ministry of Science and Technology of Vietnam (MoST). - VNA
