Applications are now open for the 2021 round of DSI's Research Higher Degree (RHD) Student Grants.

Valued at $15,000 each and awarded to the university, RHD Student Grants are designed to encourage collaboration between industry, DST Group, Defence or universities to develop the next generation of researchers. 

Specifically, the Grants aim to:

► support capacity building in research areas where Defence has an interest;
► promote new Defence-related research linkages between universities
 
by providing stipend support for students undertaking their RHD on Defence-related projects and/or undertaking Defence-industry placements as part of their study.

RHD Student Grants are open to academic staff of DSI Participant universities in Victoria and Tasmania. Applications will be accepted at any time throughout 2021, however, applicants are encouraged to submit early.

All applications are to be submitted online via the DSI Grant portal.

DSI’s 2020 Milestones and Activities 

DSI’s 2020 Milestones and Activities 

All

2020 was an extraordinary year, and at DSI, proved to be one of both challenge and opportunity. Transitioning to remote operations in response to the Pandemic, we pivoted our focus towards capability maintenance and the industry part of our university-defence-industry triangle, while maintaining strong relationships with all stakeholders.  

As we anticipate a return to ordinary operation in 2021, we look back at some key milestones this past eventful year.
