Following their announcement at the Locate23 conference in Adelaide in May, details of the new SmartSat CRC Dr Peter Woodgate Scholarships for Earth Observation have now been released.
The Scholarships will be awarded each year from 2024 to 2026, and will be open to current or potential Masters by Research or PhD students seeking to undertake study in the field of Earth observation.
Successful recipients will receive a scholarship valued at $35,000 per year.
The Scholarships honour the late Dr Peter Woodgate, who was instrumental in establishing the SmartSat CRC before becoming the inaugural SmartSat Chair, serving from August 2019 until his sudden and unexpected passing in December 2022.
Dr Woodgate was heavily involved with the space and geospatial industries for over 30 years, acting as a mentor to many leaders in Earth Observation and space technologies.
Applicants should download the application form (PDF) and submit it plus any accompanying documentation to HDR@smartsatcrc.com.
Applications close Friday, 30 September 2023.
