Australia-India Council 2017 Grant Round
The Australia-India Council seeks to advance Australia’s foreign and trade policy interests by building awareness and understanding between the peoples and institutions of Australia and India. The 2017 objectives of the Council are to:
- raise awareness of Australia in India, and of India in Australia, in a way that encourages further growth in relations between the two countries
- promote exchange and collaboration between organisations in fields of relevance to the bilateral strategic partnership
- deliver high quality programs that demonstrate Australia’s economic credentials and technical excellence to influential audiences in India
- seek community involvement in, and private sector support for, the Council’s diplomacy efforts including by encouraging corporate investment in collaborations that advance relations
- publicise our activities as a means of encouraging broad support for the Council's role and the bilateral relationship.
To achieve our objectives, the AIC builds connections and supports projects that establish new, innovative and dynamic linkages; overcome an existing identified problem; or leverage a major event to build deeper connections between Australia and India. Preference is given to activities that maximise impact by fostering ground-breaking and catalytic collaborations.
