It should be noted that the French and Indonesian partners have to submit the same proposal TO THEIR RESPECTIVE AGENCIES in charge of the management of the NUSANTARA programme, one submitted to EGIDE in France (in French) and one to RISTEK in Indonesia (in English). If one of the two partners failed to apply or sent his application after the deadline, no funding would be granted to either partner.

Projects which have already been selected for the PHC NUSANTARA 2009-2010, cannot be submitted in the next calls of proposals.

Selection

NUSANTARA applications are invited once every two years. The appointed Indonesian referees will assess Indonesian applications, while French referees will review French applications. A Joint Committee, consisting of French and Indonesian experts, which will meet alternatively in France and Indonesia , will execute the final selection.

The involvement of young researchers studying for a PhD, or pursuing post-doctoral research, is one of the most important selection criteria.

Projects having previously benefited from Nusantara funding are not eligible.

Project duration

The projects selected under the current call for proposals will normally last within two years (2011 and 2012), support for the second year being subject to progress in the first.

To this effect, the project leaders must submit a report of the activities of the first year, including financial aspects, to the Attaché for Science in the French Embassy in Jakarta and to RISTEK before September 30, 2011. The report, written in English, will inform how the money was spent or to be spent, the progress of the projects and the request for the second year. If substantial scientific results have been achieved in the first months of the running of the project, the project leader can highlight it in brief.

Final report

A final report should be sent at the latest three months after the completion of the projects to French Embassy and to RISTEK. The French partners will have to do so by downloading the relevant file on the PHC extranet and to affix to their online file once completed.

Publication of research

Upon completion of research, all participants are strongly encouraged to publish their research results in international journals.

Financing

The programme will support the international travel and living expenses associated with participation in the research project. Funding does not extend to insurances, salaries and equipment expenses, and other activities/costs not eligible for support.

Australain Leadership Award Scholarship

Managed by the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID), the Australian Leadership Award (ALA) Scholarships are a regionally competitive awards program designed to promote leadership within the Asia Pacific region, including Indonesia.

The program fosters existing and emerging leaders to develop their skills, knowledge and networks. The ALA Scholarship offers individuals the opportunity to study at Masters and Doctoral Level at an Australian University as well as participate in a tailored leadership development program. Applications for 2011 opened on 10 March and will close on 30 June 2010.

Set out below is information regarding the processes of applying for a 2011 Australian Leadership Awards (ALA) Scholarship. I invite you to also read the guidelines for application on the website found at www.ausaid.gov.au/scholar/ala.cfm

The Indonesia Program takes a unique approach to the ALA Scholarships program, calling for solicited applicants through our Whole of Government colleagues and Programs under the Development Program to Indonesia.

We are seeking your help to identify potential leaders for the ALA scholarships for 2011. Candidates nominated by team leaders are considered as solicited applicants for the ALA Scholarships process.

IDP Education International, the managing contractor for the Australia Awards programs available in Indonesia, coordinate this process on AusAID’s behalf.

Solicited applicants are eligible to undertake an AusAID funded English language test (IELTS) and to receive assistance in the submitting of an Australian university application. However it should be noted that this assistance is for the application process only. Nomination as a solicited applicant does not guarantee an interview or an award as the program is regionally competitive and merit based.

Nominations for solicited applicants must be received by IDP by Friday 9 April 2010. Contact details are provided below.

English language testing (if required)

ALA applicants to Australian universities are required to submit a current IELTS score. For solicited applicants in the 2011 application round, only 60 places are available for IELTS testing. Therefore it is preferred that nominated candidates already have proficient English language skills – demonstrated by an equivalent English language test – either the Institutional TOEFL test (a score of at least 550) or a TOEFL internet-based score (a score of at least 90).

If candidates have undertaken an IELTS test in the last two years, and obtained an overall score of 6.5 (with no band score less than 6.0) they are not required to re-sit the test. Candidates must however be able to provide an original copy of the IELTS certificate.

IELTS testing will occur at the IALF Jakarta on 24 April and at the IALF Jakarta and IALF Bali on 8 May. Candidates must register for the IELTS test at least 2 weeks prior to the test dates. IDP (as the Managing Contractor appointed by AusAID) will facilitate the testing arrangements and arrange accommodation in Jakarta or Bali for those candidates requiring overnight accommodation in these locations. Candidates will be reimbursed for travel costs and must sit the IELTS test at the testing centre nominated by IDP. (Please note that support for travel and accommodation is only provided to applicants residing outside of JABODETABEK (for the Jakarta testing centre) and outside Bali (for the Bali testing centre)).

IELTS test scores will be available from IDP approximately two weeks after the test is taken. Agencies and Programs are welcome to arrange further testing at their own cost however, results must be provided to IDP by 21 May 2010.

Solicited applicants who do not achieve the minimum English language proficiency requirements will not proceed further in the solicited applicant process.

Unconditional Letter of Offer

Candidates must obtain an unconditional letter of offer from an Australian university, which must be included in their ALA application. As this process can take 1-2 months at a minimum, please allow plenty of time to arrange applications to an Australian University. It is it is ideal that candidates have already thought about the field of study and research/thesis/doctoral topic and started to develop a proposal to the institution they wish to apply to– particularly in the case of doctoral applicants.

IDP will assist candidates to complete an application to a minimum of one Australian university for Masters or PhD study. Candidates may wish to consider applying to a second Australian university if their first application is rejected for any reason.

Supporting Documentation attached with ALA application form

In addition to the unconditional letter of offer and IELTS certificate, candidates will need to provide the following as part of their ALA application. It is recommended that applicants commence gathering this documentation early.

§ Proof of identity and citizenship: certified copy of birth certificate, passport personal information pages or other official document in original language. (If the original proof of identity and citizenship documentation is in a language other than English, please provide English translations).

§ Certified copy of degree certificate(s) in original language. (If the original degree certificate is in a language other than English, please provide English translations).

§ Certified copy of official university transcript(s) of results in original language. (If the original transcript of results is in a language other than English, please provide English translations).

§ Certified copy of evidence of academic prizes, awards and/or professional honours.

§ Referee for application’s contact details.

Submitting the ALA Application

Once candidates have received an unconditional letter of offer from an Australian university they can submit an ALA application form with the supporting documentation electronically via www.australianscholarships.gov.au or in hard copy to the ALA Office (address listed below) by 30 June 2010.
