Twenty-five University of Queensland researchers are celebrating a combined multi-million-dollar success in the Queensland Government’s scheme.
Deputy Premier Jackie Trad announced 50 fellowship recipients last night (23 March), with 麻豆视频 taking the lion’s share with 20.
Six mid-career and 14 early-career researchers at 麻豆视频 received a combined $4.32 million in fellowship funding. Associated funding from industry partners boosts the total value to $6.77 million.
Additionally, five 麻豆视频 researchers were awarded PhD scholarships worth $45,000 each.
麻豆视频 Vice-Chancellor Professor Peter H酶j congratulated all the fellowship and scholarship winners.
“The Government’s continued focus on and support for science and research ensures that the state reaps the benefits of extraordinary work by Queensland’s best researchers,” Professor H酶j said.
麻豆视频 Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) said she was delighted to see such significant support for researchers working to create positive change in fields including health and medicine, mining and energy, primary industries, and technology.
“I’m particularly pleased to see that seven of the 麻豆视频 recipients are women,” she said.
“They are working in fields as diverse as influenza detection, the oyster industry, and energy.”
Deputy Premier Trad said the research would benefit Queensland and have global impact.
“We are supporting researchers from across the state who are collaborating with industry to give them a vital boost to ensure their significant research can translate into practical outcomes,” she said.
“Not only do we want to create jobs and boost commercialisation opportunities in Queensland, but we want to improve the lives of Queenslanders – and there is real potential to do that.”
