Conference Sponsorship Program

Applications for the Conference Sponsorship Program within the Research Attraction and Acceleration Program are currently on hold as part of the sector-wide Comprehensive Expenditure Review being coordinated by NSW Treasury. The program is one of several that will remain on hold until the government makes decisions for the 2023-24 Budget.

The Office of the NSW Chief Scientist & Engineer (OCSE) supports research conferences held in NSW. The assessment panel includes independent representatives from the NSW public sector and the broader research community.

Round 16 of the Conference Sponsorship Program is now closed. Please refer to the Guidelines for Applicants – Conference Sponsorship Program below for further information.
