Successful grant recipients 2015-16
10 August 2015
The Australia-Korea Foundation (AKF) is pleased to announce the successful grant recipients for 2015-16.
The AKF has awarded funding to 42 projects across the 4 strategic priority areas of Economic Diplomacy, Korean Language and Literacy, Science Innovation and Sports Diplomacy and Culture.
"I congratulate all the successful grant recipients in the 2015-16 grant round." The AKF Chair, Mr Peter Coleman, said.
The annual competitive grant program is the AKF’s main vehicle for supporting Australian education, cultural, youth and business institutions to develop and advance their connections with Korea.
"This year we have maintained a good balance between co-funding relatively large-scale projects and festivals by the established Australian institutions with a successful track record of delivering Korea-related projects and supporting relative newcomers and regional organisations to the Australia-Korea space." Mr Coleman said.
