2020 New Colombo Plan Mobility Round

Overview

The New Colombo Plan (NCP) is a signature initiative of the Australian Government, which aims to lift knowledge of the Indo-Pacific region in Australia by supporting Australian undergraduate students to study and undertake internships in the region. The NCP Mobility Program’s strategic objectives are to:   support more study experiences in as many Indo-Pacific locations as possible; enable a diverse range of Australian undergraduates to develop a greater understanding of the Indo-Pacific region and build people to people links; fund innovative Mobility Projects that facilitate increased student mobility to the region and new or strengthened partnerships between universities and other organisations; encourage a substantial number of Students to undertake longer-term study, in-country language study and Internships; encourage private sector collaboration and sponsorship of the NCP Mobility Program; engage NCP Students, Australian Universities, and other stakeholders in public diplomacy and outreach; and continue to develop an active alumni community for Students to share their experiences, promote the NCP and continue to develop knowledge of and professional links within the Indo-Pacific region.  Mobility Projects must include at least one of the following components:  study; in-country language study; Internships (including clinical placements, practicums or artist residencies); or  Research. Successful Applicants (Funding Recipients) will be awarded funding to be used for Semester or short-term Mobility Projects in Host Locations.
