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.
