The Australian National University will continue to lead the country in academic research after the Australian Research Council (ARC) announced the University has won 16 prized Future Fellowships. The ARC Future Fellowships scheme provides funding for areas of critical national importance by supporting outstanding mid-career researchers. The 16 successful Future Fellows at the ANU will research topics ranging from the effect of El Niño and La Niña on Australian drought conditions and rainfall, through to charting the evolution of the Milky Way Galaxy over cosmic time. ANU Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research), Professor Margaret Harding, congratulated the Future Fellows and said the announcement was an outstanding result for the University. "We are very proud of these researchers," Professor Harding said. "These 16 Fellows will further contribute to the high quality research environment at ANU. In particular, we will be welcoming five impressive international researchers to undertake their projects here,” she said.
