SUPPORT YOUNG PEOPLE TO OUR CONFERENCE AND SCHOLAR DAY – it may change their lives!
Would you like to help fund additional young scientists and students to attend our conference and the special Crawford Fund Scholars Day? You may have eligible people you would like to nominate and support for a Crawford Fund Conference Scholarship?
Past scholars have gone on to volunteer or work in international agricultural research projects in developing countries or to further study in a related field. Hear some of their stories in the video below and read their stories in the brochure at the link.
Further,
- Madaline Healey became an Australian volunteer in Laos after attending our 2012 conference and is working at Sunshine Coast University on an Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research project.
- Stuart Irvine-Brown was supported to attend our conference in 2013 and has been successful in securing a position that has him in Ethiopia on the Australian supported SIMLESA conservation agriculture project.
- Kylie Ireland followed up her Young Scholar experience also as a volunteer in Laos, and is now doing a post-doc position at ANU with the Plant Biosecurity CRC.
