A project to grow sustainable manufacturing of Australian technology in India, workshops connecting Australian energy transition researchers and start-ups with India, and an artistic duo who will turn Melbourne\u2019s Federation Square into a living canvas are among the recipients of this year\u2019s Maitri Research and Cultural Partnerships Grants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Maitri (meaning friendship in Sanskrit) grants are administered by the Centre for Australia-India Relations to deepen links with India and allow for closer collaboration between our two countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The five Maitri Research Grants will explore opportunities between Australia and India in agribusiness, critical technology, energy transition and advanced manufacturing. This will provide a pathway for commercialisation of Australian research and technical capabilities with India and explore new avenues for industrial collaboration between our countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Maitri Cultural Partnerships support connections between Australian cultural organisations and India\u2019s creative sector. This round will fund fourteen collaborations between Australia and India, including three First Nations collaboration projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
