Integrated Maritime Management and Security across the Indo-Pacific: A...
The purpose of this Grant is to support Australia’s involvement in India’s Indo-Pacific Oceans Initiative (IPOI). The Australia-India Indo-Pacific Oceans Initiative Partnership (AIIPOIP) helps shape maritime cooperation in the Indo-Pacific to support an open, inclusive, resilient, prosperous and rules-based maritime order.
In 2021-22, the AIIPOIP focuses on building areas of practical cooperation between Australia, India, and the Indo-Pacific along specific areas which the Australian and Indian governments have identified as priorities, particularly in the field of combating marine plastic waste and marine ecology.
The objectives of the AIIPOIP grant opportunity are:
- To strengthen Australia-India cooperation by deepening institutional linkages between Australian and Indian researchers, businesses and government on maritime issues;
- To build partnerships, regional consensus, generate ideas and advance practical cooperation under the maritime ecology pillar of the IPOI; and
- To generate other practical ideas for how the IPOI can link with existing regional mechanisms and arrangements, in particular the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA) and Pacific Islands Forum (PIF).
