Applications for the 2011 Australia - India Council (AIC) Australian Studies Fellowships are now open. The deadline for applications is close of business Friday 26 February 2011.

The primary purpose of the AIC Fellowship program is to more fully acquaint visiting Indian scholars with Australian Studies centres and programs in Australia. Applicants must be employed as academic staff or be undertaking research degrees from a recognised Indian University. Applicants must demonstrate a commitment to research and teaching involving Australia.

The AIC is part of the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Its purpose is to broaden the relationship between Australia and India by encouraging and supporting contacts and increasing levels of knowledge and understanding between the peoples and institutions of the two countries.
