France–Australia Early- and Mid-Career Fellowships awarded for 2016

The Academy has selected nine Australian early- and mid-career researchers to collaborate with scientists in research institutions in France in 2016 under the France–Australia Science Innovation Collaboration (FASIC) Early- and Mid-Career Fellowships. Researchers in any field of the natural sciences, including technology, engineering and medicine were encouraged to apply. This activity is being funded by the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science.

The researchers will travel to research institutions in France for their projects. They will work on a range of topics including understanding the development of dementia and its risk factors, digital interventions for the prevention of suicide, and the detection of a new fundamental particle at the Large Hadron Collider.
