The Australian Research Council?s Laureate Fellowships scheme aims to attract and retain outstanding researchers and research leaders of international repute.
The scheme, and the Federation Fellowships scheme, which it replaced in 2009, is also intended to:
- build and strengthen world-class research capability in Australia
- provide an excellent research training environment and exemplary mentorship to nurture early-career researchers
- expand Australia's knowledge base
- forge strong links between researchers, industry and the international research community
- support research that will result in economic, environmental, social and cultural benefits for Australia.
