What is FEAST-Germany?
Germany is one of Australia’s largest scientific partners. There is a long history of collaboration between the two countries, enhanced by formal intergovernmental links, and by organisations such as the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AvH), German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), German Research Foundation (DFG) and others. There is, however, no common resource that provides the opportunity for German and Australian researchers to meet, interact, share experiences, and learn from each other.
FEAST-Germany intends to fill this gap by working closely with key stakeholders in both countries. It will be a distributed network of members in Australia and Germany interested in all disciplines of research (academic, applied, and industrial), who work together in a coordinated manner to promote the results of successful German–Australian collaboration, and to provide information or assistance to those interested in such collaboration.
