In June 2008 the Premier of Victoria John Brumby and Premier of Queensland Anna Bligh announced a key agreement to help guide the development of large scale solar industries in both states. The announcement of joint funding of $680,000 included an industry fellowship program, allowing individuals to work with major solar companies to develop expertise which can then be applied in Australia.
Applications closed on Friday, 1 May 2009.
The Fellowships are open to Victorian based professionals who can demonstrate that their placement will enable them to bring back knowledge to promote the growth of Victorian large scale solar generation technologies. Up to 3 fellowships worth $30,000 each may be awarded in 2009 to successful applicants.
