NEW DELHI: Following the success of the inaugural Australian studies fellowships this year, the Australia-India Council (AIC) has announced that the fellowships for the study of Australia would be available in 2004.

Welcoming the continuation of the fellowships, Australian High Commissioner to India Penny Wensley said strengthening educational links between the two countries, including links between academics and institutions, was a key priority for the Australian Government.

Six of the prestigious fellowships would be awarded next year. Applications are encouraged from areas such as Australian literature, politics and history, environment and health, tourism, film, media communication and the performing arts, gender issues, multiculturalism and indigenous issues, an Australian High Commission press note said.

The fellowships are supported and administrated by a consortium of Australian universities, it said.

Besides, the AIC’s Australian Studies Programme included two-way exchanges of academics between Australian and Indian institutions, the provision of material to Indian institutions providing Australian courses as well as a teacher exchange programme.
