The Australian Animal Welfare Strategy is proud to be a sponsor of the 2008 Australian Agricultural Industries Young Innovators and Science Awards.
These annual awards are run by the Bureau of Rural Sciences and are for young people (18-35 years) working or studying in an agricultural, fisheries, forestry, food or natural resource industry.
Winners will receive up to $20 000 each to explore an emerging scientific issue or innovative activity over a 12 month period. One winner will also be recommended to receive the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Award, valued at an additional $30 000, to advance their research outcomes and career.
We are hoping for some strong entries from the animal welfare sector becuase as the conference has revealed there are some terrific young scientists doing amazing work to improve welfare across multiple industries and sectors.
Projects can relate to agriculture, fisheries, forestry, food and natural resource management industries, and funding may be used for a research project, an industry visit, further study into a specific area or attending a conference.
Applications close 14 July 2008.
For more information about the Awards go to the Bureau of Rural Sciences website, or join the Australian Agricultural Industries Young Innovators and Science Awards group on Facebook.

Early bird registrations
Registrations for the AAWS08 Conference are flowing in - it is good to see the high level of interest in the conference translate into confirmed delegates. I can't wait to see everyone on the Gold Coast in nine weeks time.
We have extended the early bird deadline slightly to give people a little more time to register on this special rate. Early bird registration is just $700 - what a bargain for 3 full days of conference featuring 80 presentations. The closing date is now 11 July.
Registrations are being taken online, or you can download the registration brochure and fax or mail back your form.
The conference program is also now available and we are getting terrific feedback from around Australia and the world on the strength of the speaker schedule that we have been able to pull together.
All in all, can you afford not to be at this conference?
