AUSTRALIAN NAVAL INSTITUTE
‘MARITIME ADVANCEMENT AUSTRALIA AWARD'
The Australian Naval Institute, in conjunction with The Australian National Centre for Ocean Resources and Security at the University of Wollongong, is proud to announce the opening of the selection process for the second ‘Maritime Advancement Australia Award', sponsored by Booz Allen Hamilton Australia with the support of Saab Systems and EDS.
The Award is in the form of a two year grant for research or development in a maritime activity. $22,000 each year will be made available to the winning project. The grant will be awarded to the most promising research or development proposal which will be judged by a committee of experts from the various fields of maritime endeavour, including science, maritime law and policy, defence, commerce, shipbuilding and maritime industry. The intent of the award is that it be available to the widest range of potential researchers and innovators, rather than just one sphere of maritime endeavour. Applications open immediately and will close on 31 October this year. The first award will be announced at the Pacific 2008 Maritime Exposition in January 2008. The detailed terms of the award are attached. Further details are available from the points of contact of the Australian Naval Institute and The Australian National Centre for Ocean Resources and Security listed below.
The institution of this award indicates the ANI's and ANCORS' commitment to the encouragement and promotion of the advancement of knowledge related to the Navy and the maritime profession. The ANI and ANCORS are extremely grateful to Booz Allen Hamilton Australia, to Saab Systems and to EDS for making this award possible, demonstrating their own strong commitment to the advancement of Australia's maritime activities.
