Nine Australian researchers will split $6 million in federal funding to work with partners from east Asia on projects like hydrogen, AI, advanced manufacturing and solar technologies after securing funding from a slimmed down science diplomacy program.

The article from InnovationAus.com discusses the launch of a new round of Australia's Science Diplomacy Fund, which has been tightened to focus more on national security and economic benefits. The fund, managed by the Department of Industry, Science and Resources, aims to strengthen international science and technology partnerships. This year's grants emphasize collaborations that align with Australia's strategic interests, particularly in areas like critical minerals, clean energy, and cybersecurity.

The grants are part of a broader strategy to leverage science diplomacy to foster economic growth, secure supply chains, and enhance Australia's global scientific standing.
