Local government researchers and tertiary institutions now have the opportunity to conduct original research that will benefit the sector under an initiative undertaken by the Australian Centre of Excellence for Local Government.

 

ACELG will provide a maximum of $15,000 to partners who can contribute at least $10,000 from their own organisation or from a third party. Smaller projects are also welcome.

 

This initiative is part of ACELG’s Research and Policy Foresight Program, and a total of $100,000 has been set aside for this activity in 2011.

 

Information on areas of research interest and current research activities can be found on the ACELG website, www.acelg.org.au
