The Australia-India Council (AIC) 2020 Grant Round is now open.

Each year the AIC facilitates a competitive grant round, with funding from the Australian Government, to support projects that promote contemporary perceptions of Australia in India and/or India in Australia, build sustainable collaborations and support the economic partnership.

For the 2020 Grants Round, the AIC is looking to fund projects that will help build and support economic partnership between the two countries and support the recommendations of the India Economic Strategy.

Grant Program Objectives

In 2020, priority will be given to projects that:

• support the recommendations of the India Economic Strategy;
• address an identified gap or need;
• are co-funded by industry or that work to produce commercial collaborations; or projects that demonstrate a path to continuing in future years free from government funding.

Key priority sectors of the 2020 AIC grant program and as identified in the India Economic Strategy are: Education, Energy, Sport, Agribusiness, Health, Resources, Financial Services, Tourism, Infrastructure and Science and Innovation.
