ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The Indo-Australian Biotechnology Fund (IABF) is a platform for bilateral collaboration in
science jointly managed and funded by the governments of India and Australia. The aim of
the collaboration is to promote & support cutting edge science and technology (S&T)
research by supporting: collaboration between Indian and Australian researchers in
strategically focussed, cutting edge, scientific research and technology projects; strengthen
strategic alliances between Indian and Australian researchers; and facilitate India and
Australia’s access to the global S&T system.

Since its establishment in 2006, the IABF has supported collaborative, leading-edge research between scientists in Australia and India across a range of jointly agreed upon priority areas. It has also helped to build linkages between premier research and educational institutions in both countries.

The Indo-Australian Biotechnology Fund is managed jointly by the Department of
Biotechnology (DBT), Government of India and Department of Industry, Innovation and
Science (DIIS), Govt. of Australia.
