Kenneth Myer Innovation Fellowships
If you have a passion project but don’t have the money to take time off from your current income source, then maybe the Kenneth Myer Innovation Fellowships may be of interest.
Up to $180,000 is available to each Fellow for their 12-month Fellowship comprising a stipend of $140,000 and up to $40,000 for approved project expenses, available on a reimbursement basis.
What are the eligibility criteria?
The applicant must:
- be an Australian citizen or permanent resident
- reside in Australia for the majority of the Fellowship period
- be prepared to take a sabbatical from their current role for 12 months
- have a proven track record of achievement
- pursue out-of-the-box thinking and be a risk-taker
- have an ability to turn well-formulated ideas or new approaches into action (that is, your idea must have substance to it; a good idea on its own is not sufficient)
- have well-developed networks within an area of the proposed project.
The proposed project must:
- be based in Australia
- be aligned with one or more of the program themes of Inclusion & Equality, Sustainability & Environment including climate change, or Human, Civil & Legal rights
