Each year the Australian-American Fulbright Commission offers a grant of $30,000 to an Australian institution or organisation selected to host the Fulbright Symposium. The Symposium is created around a topic of current bi-national interest between Australia and the United States and engages leading speakers from both countries.
The aim of the Fulbright Symposium is to publicly demonstrate the Fulbright Commission's mission of "promoting mutual understanding between the peoples of the United States and Australia through educational and cultural exchange".
The 2012 Fulbright Symposium will be hosted by the University of South Australia with the topic "Securing Our Cyber Future". The Symposium will be held on 15-16 August 2012 at the Adelaide Convention Centre.
