If you meet the eligibility requirements to apply for an Energy Renaissance Innovator Award to benefit not only your studies and career but to make a difference to energy storage in Australia by sharing the knowledge you gain from your Award, we encourage you to apply.
Before you apply, we recommend that you read through the information found at the following links to ensure that:
• you are an eligible candidate and your Activity meets our requirements
• you understand the selection process
• you are familiar with the application guidelines as all applications must be made online.
If applying online presents difficulties, please contact Australian Battery Society to discuss your situation as support or reasonable adjustment can be provided. Using a different method to apply can only be considered in exceptional circumstances at the discretion of the Directors of the ABS.
