The Australia-China Council (ACC) is pleased to announce the successful recipients of the 2012-2013 competitive grants. Congratulations to all organisations and individuals who have been awarded funding.
The Council continues to support high-quality and high-impact projects that further strengthen and enrich the Australia-China bilateral relationship in the key sectors of Education and Science, Economics and Trade and Society and Culture. In this grant round, the Council has also awarded funding to the initiatives that celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China.
This year, the Council has received a record of 236 proposals with the total requested funding of over 5.8 million dollars.
The Council Board is delighted at the level of response to the grant round and the interest shown by Australian organisations and individuals is testament to expanding engagement between Australia and China.
