Subject: 2005 Endeavour Australia Cheung Kong Awards

Dear all,
 
Further to DEST's advice regarding the 2005 Australian Cheung Kong
Student Exchange Programme, the Department now wishes to inform you of
the 2005 Endeavour Australia Cheung Kong Awards.
 
These awards were announced as part of the Endeavour Australia Cheung
Kong Scholarship Programme launch on 24 June 2004, at Parliament House
in Canberra.
 
The Endeavour Australia Cheung Kong Awards are for postgraduate students
and postdoctoral fellows to undertake short-term research at an
Australian or Asian higher education institution. The fellowships are
open to all fields of study, are for four to six month's duration and
valued at up to A$25,000. 

Funding under this Programme of A$1 million per annum over three years
will enable up to 20 in-coming Asian scholars per year to undertake an
award in Australia, while up to 20 Australian scholars per year will be
supported to undertake a research program in a designated Asian country
or administrative region.

Two-thirds of the awards will be allocated to scholars coming from or
going to mainland China and the Hong Kong SAR and the remaining
one-third to scholars coming from or going to India, Indonesia, Japan,
Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

Applications for these awards are now being sought and further
information about the awards is available from the Endeavour Programme
website at www.dest.gov.au/international/awards/endeavour.htm and by
clicking on link to the "Endeavour Australia Cheung Kong Scholarship
Programme".

The aim of the programme is to attract high-performing scholars and
particularly research proposals which will benefit the further
development of social and economic environment of Asia and Australia.

Applications must be received in DEST by close of business on Friday, 8
October 2004 with selection outcomes available in November 2004.  The
awards are to be taken up in 2005.

DEST now seeks your assistance with promoting these awards within your
respective institutions.
