Seeding Grants 2008

The AUC Innovation (Seeding) Grant program is designed to inspire creative people and to foster innovation. The program is primarily aimed at students (but staff may also apply) and is designed to give them a chance to show what they can do with resources and support.

The program requires that applicants commit to a project of their own choosing. They are provided with equipment and resources to complete the project, and most importantly, the support of a mentor.  For the 2008 grant round, the mentor is Daniel Woo from the University of New South Wales.

Grant recipients are required to share the progress of their project through a project blog, and the outcome - either via open source licensing, creative commons licensing, or something similar.

The 2008 seeding grant winners, and their project titles, are as follows.  Click the name of the grant recipient to the right to go to their public project reports.
