Fellowships

The International Specialised Skills Institute Australians the chance to travel overseas and undertake applied international research into a topic or issue they are passionate about and enhance their skills. The research is often used in education and training, spanning many industries with the intention of generating actionable knowledge, finding solutions or developing innovative practice.

The ISS Institute’s Fellowship Program invests in Australians undertaking a form of applied research outside of Australia, often acquiring skills and knowledge not available in Australia. Our Fellowships would not be possible without the support of committed Investors who are keen to build knowledge and skills in areas that matter.

Our Fellows are talented and skilled Australians who are driving innovation and leading practice in their respective industries and sectors. ISS Institute Fellows willingly share the knowledge and skills acquired during their Fellowship upon their return to Australia through detailed Fellowship Reports and dissemination activities. ISS Institute is honoured to support our diverse range of Fellows, all of whom are working to make a real difference in Australia.
