Forum for European-Australian Science and Technology cooperation
The website now contains a collection of known collaborative research projects, including publicly available information. See the projects page, www.feast.org/projects, to discover more. If you have ever been involved in a European-Australia collaborative effort, from personal contacts right up to major project involvement, please let us know.
We have recently added a Google search to our website. This facilitity is available on the left-hand side of every page, and is able to search all publicly available areas of the website, including projects, funding, articles, etc.
As part of our efforts to help draw together expertise in various areas of Australian-European research collaboration, we have begun developing the FEAST-Germany network. This will operate in much that same way as FEAST-France and ARIA. Membership to this network is free, and you can sign-up on the website, in the members section under your FEAST profile.
We are currently finalising details for our major annual conference. The event is called FEAST Conference 2006: Research without borders. It will be held in Canberra at the Australian Academy of Science’s Shine Dome. Speakers will include key players from science and science policy from both Australia and Europe.
For further information, visit the Conference website, www.feast.org/conference2006. Registration will open on the 1st of May, and there will be earlybird savings for FEAST members.
The University of Melbourne International Office and the Embassy of France in conjunction with the University’s Department of French, Italian and Spanish Studies are hosting a Seminar on French Research Opportunities as part of a “French Connection Day”.

Presenters will include representatives from the Embassy of France and the Melbourne Research Office.
