December Director's message

As readers may know, CEAT established its Agri-Innovation Fellow Program in late 2020. 

One of the main reasons for starting the Program was to ensure that CEAT is as well connected as possible to external agri-sector agencies. The Program is also designed to help CEAT identify the major industry challenges where researchers from the ANU-CSIRO Precinct could help develop innovative, transformative solutions.  We also want our Fellows to act as ambassadors to build awareness of what the ANU/CSIRO Precinct has to offer the agri-sector, and to contribute to events, workshops, and research projects where relevant.

CEAT EvokeAG 2022 Travel Grant

CEAT is partnering with AgriFutures to bring six researchers from ANU to the country’s biggest agri-food tech event in Sydney on 14 and 15 March 2022. evokeAG. will bring the agri-food innovation community together in the heart of Sydney, where delegates will explore what’s next in agri-tech and food innovation.

Six award recipients selected from ANU researchers and postgraduate students will get the chance to immerse themselves in the innovative agri-food tech on display at the event, connect with industry leaders and explore the hot topics and conversations happening in the global agricultural space, including how research in a number of fields in science and technology can help tackle agricultural challenges.

The program for the event includes a day of workshops on the 14th and the evokeAG conference on the 15th followed by an evening of networking.

This is an excellent opportunity to build connections in the agri-tech sector, listen to successful entrepreneur’s stories, and find out about potential sources of funding.

Successful applicants will receive a ticket to evokeAG valued at $580 each, their travel and accommodation costs will be covered up to $1,000.
