  • 1 Preparation
    1 PREPARATION 1.1 Host institutions and researchers in Australia You should remember that host research supervisors or institutions are not paid to host you, therefore your technical contributions to their program will be most appreciated. Many program participants continue their relationship with Australian host researchers in many productive ways. A few tips regarding host institutions and research plans are provided below. How to find your host institution and research supervisor in Australia First, you need to talk to your research advisors or colleagues in your home institution, who are active in the research areas of your interests. Many of them have contacts in Australia and may be able to provide you with contact details You may want to undertake some personal research by going to the Australian Research Council (ARC) website where you can search for research projects and researchers funded by the ARC at Australian universities since 2001. Please visit http://www.arc.gov.au/funded- grants. The ARC has published the State of Australian University Research 2015-16: Volume 1 ERA National Report which details the quality of Australian university research benchmarked against world standards. Section 5: Institution Report identifies the excellence in research across a broad range of universities and the outstanding performances in areas of specialisation. Please visit http://www.arc.gov.au/era-reports. You may also like to check recent journal papers or conference proceeding papers in the areas of your interests to identify Australian institutions and researchers from published papers. Details of numerous Australian higher education institutions and other research organisations are provided with this paper.
