The University of Technology Sydney is providing a $2 million boost for Australian researchers, offering an additional 70 domestic research scholarships this year as pandemic border restrictions continue to keep away international students.
Professor Kate McGrath, Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Research) at UTS, said the increase in scholarships to 234 from 163 last year would help âunderwrite this next generation of Australian researchersâ.
âThis investment is critical to maintain the universityâs research capacity over the coming years, particularly to fill the gap that will continue as long as borders remain closed to international research students,â she said.
