Building global partnerships for lasting impact
Adelaide University’s International Fellows Award is designed to bring some of the very best academic and research minds from around the globe to South Australia to work with our researchers and students on global challenges.
Connecting high-calibre, globally recognised researchers from top 100 ranked universities (or within top 100 ranked discipline areas) to the Adelaide University community, this program enriches our research, teaching and learning activities and promotes innovative, impactful partnerships. The program will foster long-term international collaborations aligned to Adelaide University’s Signature Research Themes, and increase international co-publications, joint research projects and global academic impact.
For International Fellows, this program presents a unique opportunity to advance your research at Australia’s newest university — an institution dedicated to future-making research of scale and focus that transcends borders around the world. Home to more than 5,000 researchers pioneering some of the most important and powerful innovations and breakthroughs, Adelaide University’s research excellence and impact is fuelled by our unique locations, close campus–industry proximity, world-class research infrastructure, vibrant graduate researcher cohorts, outstanding research talent, and strategic alliances.
The benefits for International Fellows extend beyond their research portfolio. The city of Adelaide was ranked the ninth most liveable city in the world in the 2025 Global Liveability Index, and is surrounded by picturesque coastlines, rolling hills and world-renowned vineyards.
