MATRIX-Simons Collaborative Fund (incl. details to apply) |
Applicants can apply to this fund in their MATRIX Research Program proposal. Proposals should indicate how the funding will be used to support the MATRIX Research Program as well as the amount requested. Proposals should also include evidence and value of the funding co-contribution and identify the source (e.g. funding bodies, institutions or external partners in business, industry and government).

Expression of interest submission guidelines
If completing an Expression of Interest (EOI), the EOI will need to identify key potential participants of an exciting research area in the mathematical sciences, point to important international developments in the field and/or potential for industry collaboration. If there are other sources of income to be expected or targeted then these would normally be mentioned in the EoI. An EOI can be submitted as a one‐page document.
All proposed program applications will be reviewed by the MATRIX Scientific Committee. The committee meets in May and November of each year. The outcome of your proposed program application will be communicated to you by the Programs Coordinator within three weeks of the meeting.
Code of Conduct
MATRIX highly values professional behaviour, where everyone is treated with respect and courtesy. Further information is available from The University of Melbourne, on whose Creswick campus MATRIX events are hosted: https://safercommunity.unimelb.edu.au/
