The Earle Travel Fellowship in technology

Applications are invited for the 2025 Richard and Mary Earle Travel Fellowship in Technology. The fellowship is a grant of up to $15,000 to help fund overseas travel for young engineers, food technologists and food scientists, creating an opportunity for them to increase their professional knowledge and innovative skills through study or practical experience relevant to either:

1. product development and innovation management, or
2. process development in bioprocessing or food processing.
3. It is envisaged that the skills gained, and the contacts made, through visiting overseas research and development institutes, and attending international conferences will enable successful candidates to contribute to improving technology in New Zealand. The development of creativity and the generation of new product or process ideas for practical application are important elements of the fellowship.

Applications are invited from members of Engineering New Zealand, New Zealand Institute of Food Science and Technology, Institution of Chemical Engineers in New Zealand, and Product Development & Management Association who are employed in one of New Zealand's technological industries (products or services), or an associated research organisation. Candidates must be New Zealand citizens or permanent residents and aged less than 40 years.

The closing date for applications in 21 July 2025. Further information and an application form can be found here
