Laurent Kremer and IRIM among the 7 laureates for the AFRAN*

The Australian-French Association for Research and Innovation (*AFRAN) has awarded $25,000 in grants to support member-led collaborative initiatives tackling major societal issues facing Australia and France.

Seven laureate projects have been selected through a competitive selection process, demonstrating the excellence and dynamism of French-Australian research collaborations. This initiative proposes to introduce French researchers from IRIM to the hub of mycobacterial researchers at the University of Sydney (primarily centred at the Centenary Institute), where a national symposium will be held in May 2019 at the Centenary Institute bringing in researchers from Queensland and Melbourne to facilitate the transfer of intellectual expertise in techniques and planning of researcher exchange.
