Australia's two leading ICT researchers are to receive more than AUS$2 million each in funding from the Federal Government as part of the Australian Laureate Fellowships scheme. Overall15 researchers across a broad range of fields, including work being done with the Square Kilometre Array, will share in AUS$35.5 million being handed out by the Government.
This programme had its kick-off last year and this would be the second batch of researchers who will receive the financial backing. The Australian Laureate Fellowships scheme, which is administered by the Australian Research Council, will put up $239 million over five years, for a total of 75 grants to researchers.
