In 2010, the ARC introduced the Kathleen Fitzpatrick and Georgina Sweet Australian Laureate Fellowships in recognition of the profound contributions of these researchers to their fields, and to advancing women, including in research.
The Fellowships are available to women Australian Laureate Fellows, and include additional funding of $20,000 per year, over 5 years, to support and promote women in research.
The Kathleen Fitzpatrick Australian Laureate Fellowship is available to an outstanding Australian Laureate Fellow from the humanities, arts and social science disciplines.
