Our fellows
veski innovation fellows, with a record of achievement in science and innovative technology, bring outstanding skills and specialist expertise to Victoria.

Over the eight year period in which veski has been awarding veski innovation fellowships, collectively, the innovation fellows have leveraged additional funds to the State of Victoria in excess of 18:1 to support their research efforts from Federal and International funding bodies. That’s a little under $40 million in return for a modest $2.58 million investment in Victorian research.
