• Provide Australian participants with the opportunity to access equipment, knowledge and skills not available in Australia; facilitate the development and strengthening of personal research networks; investigate institutional cooperative opportunities and explore possibilities for shared research infrastructure in both countries

The ECR program supports researchers who have recently completed postgraduate research qualifications and are currently employed in research or academic positions. The successful applicants will have had international exposure, be well published and keen to develop links with Korea.
