About the Program
The New Colombo Plan aims to boost Australia’s knowledge of the Indo-Pacific region and strengthen Australia’s people-to-people and institutional relationships through study and internships/mentorships undertaken by Australian undergraduate students in the region.
In 2022, 375 UQ students received over $1.6 million in grants to participate in 24 short-term and semester-based programs.
Grants ranging in value are available to support Australian university undergraduates to participate in study, practicums, internships/mentorships and research in the Indo-Pacific region.
All project applications are welcome but applications that have demonstrated links strengthening existing partnerships or developing new ones will be particularly well-received.
The funding covers mobility projects undertaken between 1 January 2024 and 30 December 2025. Mobility projects must provide students with academic credit or count towards the course requirements for the student's course of study.
The Global Partnerships Intranet also provides a range of resources to support the promotion and development of NCP opportunities. Global Partnerships can assist academics with developing applications and provide adive on key partnerships, existing projects, and current agreements in the region.
