veski Victoria Fellowships
veski recognises outstanding research capabilities and outcomes through Victoria’s prestigious Innovation Awards.
The Victoria Fellowships are one such highly sought after award – which encourage the next generation of bright young Victorian researchers, through short term international study missions, to undertake specialist training and career development not available in
Australia.
The Victoria Fellowship has enabled me to connect and collaborate with inspiring scientists, and bring new knowledge and technologies back to Australia
