Provision of Services for the Management and Delivery of the John Dillon Fellowship Program
Established in 2002 in recognition of Professor John L Dillon’s lifelong commitment to agricultural research, the John Dillon Fellowship (JDF) supports the professional development of outstanding mid-senior career agricultural scientists, economists and researchers. Fellows, who are from ACIAR partner countries, plus a small number from Australia, are generally taking part in or have recently worked on an ACIAR research project. They participate in a blended learning experience of intensive professional training courses, visits to relevant Australian organisations, and exposure to relevant industry professionals to expand their network.
