The Australian Laureate Fellowship is an Australian professorial research fellowship awarded by the Australian Research Council. Fellows are chosen each year for five-year awards. [1] In 2023 8 industry-focused Laureate Fellowships were awarded for the first time. [2]
In 2010, the Australian Research Council created the Kathleen Fitzpatrick and Georgina Sweet Australian Laureate Fellowships. The Kathleen Fitzpatrick fellowship is named for Kathleen Fitzpatrick and honours a woman candidate in a humanities field. The Georgina Sweet fellowship is named for Georgina Sweet and honours a woman in a science or technology discipline. In addition to the funding from the standard Australian laureate fellowship, both of these named fellowships include an additional $20,000 per year to promote women in research. [3]
