AUSTRALIAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS – JULIAN RESEARCH GRANTS 2009 – EMPLOYMENT LAW / INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS
Julian Small Foundation Annual Research Grant
Applications are sought from postgraduate and undergraduate students who are undertaking research and involved in the study of employment related law, or the study of industrial relations.
Background :
Julian Small was one of Australia’s leading industrial lawyers. He died suddenly in February 1996. His death caused deep mourning in the community. It was his rare combination of legal skill, practical wisdom, humility, compassion and a sense of humour that caused the many people with whom he came into contact to admire him.
Julian helped not only large corporations which could afford his advice, but many people who could afford no one’s help. He had great skills as a teacher and taught many people how to think, how to solve problems and never to accept anything less than excellence. The Foundation was established with a generous donation from Julian’s partners at Minter Ellison and has many other supporters. It is hoped that the Foundation will ensure that those things which were important to Julian, and which should be important to all of us, are passed on to future generations.
Foundation’s Objectives:
The Foundation’s key objective is to promote and foster study, research and development of the law relating to employment and industrial relations
in Australia.
About the Grant and Selection Criteria:
The Foundation has decided to award one or more grants of up to $10,000. No grant will be less than $4,000.
A successful applicant will be chosen on the basis of a research proposal which clearly sets out how the research will advance thinking and practice
in the area of employment law and industrial relations in Australia. The Foundation will provide assistance for publication of any resulting research. No intellectual property rights in any such work will be assigned to the Foundation.
