The University of Technology Sydney is providing a $2 million boost for Australian researchers, offering an additional 70 domestic research scholarships this year as pandemic border restrictions continue to keep away international students.
Professor Kate McGrath, Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Research) at UTS, said the increase in scholarships to 234 from 163 last year would help âunderwrite this next generation of Australian researchersâ.
âThis investment is critical to maintain the universityâs research capacity over the coming years, particularly to fill the gap that will continue as long as borders remain closed to international research students,â she said.

CANBERRA, Feb. 5 (Xinhua) The government of South Australia (SA) has been urged to bring international students back to the state on charter flights.
Chief Executive of the International Education Association of Australia Phil Honeywood recently called on SA to follow the lead of the Northern Territory (NT) to revive its international education industry.
The NT in November last year used a charter flight to bring 63 students into Darwin from Singapore. They were the first international students to enter Australia since borders were closed in March 2020.
Honeywood praised the initiative and said SA should follow suit, describing the state s current plan of having international students take seats on commercial flights not filled by returning Australians as a lottery.
