The Australian Academy of the Humanities is pleased to call for applications to the International Science Linkages - Humanities and Creative Arts (ISL-HCA) Programme, funded by the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research (DIISR) to support international collaborative research activities in the humanities and creative arts.
The International Science Linkages (ISL) Programme aims to facilitate and support research cooperation between Australian researchers and leading counterparts overseas. This new ISL Humanities and Creative Arts (ISL-HCA) Programme will provide targeted support in order to:
- promote access and participation for Australian humanities and creative arts researchers in strategically focused, leading edge, international research; and
- increase strategic alliances between Australian and overseas researchers.
ISL-HCA has two application rounds. The closing date for the first round is 5 October 2009. A second round will take place in early 2010.
In the first round two schemes are offered:
1. International Research Fellowships for early to mid-career researchers to work in collaborative research groups abroad; and.
2. Visiting Fellowships for eminent humanities and/or creative arts scholars to visit Australia and participate in seminars and masterclasses.
These will continue in the second round and will be supplemented by a third scheme:
3. International Collaborative Workshops (more details on the second round will be posted on the Academy's website in November).
To lodge your application for the first round you will need to obtain the Guidelines, the appropriate Application Form and the Cover Sheet. Please read the Guidelines carefully before filling out and lodging your application. You can find these documents on the AAH ISL web page
Applications for the first round will close at 12.00noon (Canberra time) on 5 October 2009.
