Professor Sally McArthur, Deputy Director of IRIS has been selected to participate in the Australia China Young Scientist Exchange Program and will be undertaking a 2 week visit to China in April 2011.
The Australia China Young Scientist Exchange Program (YSEP), targets mid-career researchers who have shown both technical expertise and leadership potential in science and technology, gives participants exposure to higher-order issues outside their scientific and technical specialty – issues such as science and technology policy and best practice research management.
The Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE) and the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) work closely to organise the exchange placements. Placements focus on developing and strengthening personal research networks, investigating institutional cooperative opportunities and exploring possibilities for shared research infrastructure in both countries.
The Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research (DIISR) and the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) have provided matching funds to support this program which builds upon and progresses future S&T collaboration between Australia and China.
