Education enhances innovation, and provides the keys to the long term combatting of poverty. In so doing, we won’t just help the impoverished, but raise the universal standard of living.

Visiting Fellows
The Governors have agreed to support a number of international visiting fellowships throughout 2020.
Visiting Fellows will be established academics with international research reputations who already have some research links with colleagues in WA, and who wish to strengthen and deepen those links by spending up to four weeks in Perth, residing in Forrest Hall. Both the visiting fellowships and the academic workshops will be organised jointly with one or more of the WA universities, and will be aligned with the research priorities of the universities.
The Visiting Fellow application form and guidelines are available here.
The Forrest Research Foundation is a seed that we hope activates new investment in Australia’s research community. We want government, business and the community to join us.
