Increasing women’s participation in Australian Research Council grant processes
The Australian Research Council is currently seeking views on three proposals to
strengthen women’s participation in Australia’s research workforce through increasing their
involvement in ARC grant processes.
The ARC has developed a discussion paper (attached). You can read more about the
proposals here: https://www.arc.gov.au/news-publications/media/media-
releases/increasing-female-participation-research
Proposal 1
• To improve women’s participation, the ARC proposes a specific target of 50 per cent
of DECRA applications from women by 2023 (for the round commencing funding in
2024) with an interim target of 45 per cent by 2021 (for the round commencing
funding in 2022).
• The requirement that at least 50 per cent of applications be from women will be
implemented at an institutional level, rather than for individual disciplines.
Proposal 2
• Women currently comprise 44 per cent of the ARC College of Experts but the
distribution is uneven depending on discipline.
• The ARC proposes a target of equal representation of men and women on the
College of Experts by 2023 and the Selection Advisory Committees by 2025.
Proposal 3
• The ARC provides annual statistics to each eligible organisation on its participation
and success rate by gender across the National Competitive Grants Program
(NCGP), compared to the results for all universities and their relevant cohort (if
applicable).
• The ARC proposes to publish statistics on participation and success by gender for
all eligible organisations on its website.
If you would like to provide input into La Trobe University’s response to these proposals,
please provide your feedback on any of the proposals below to Dr Natasha Weir, the
SAGE Athena SWAN Program Manager, by Friday 22 November at
In particular, The University is seeking feedback on:
• Whether the proposals are feasible
• Whether there are any impacts or perverse outcomes of the proposals
• Any other suggestions for how the ARC can support early career women
researchers, improve women’s participation in the ARC assessment processes and
increase women’s participation and retention in the research workforce more
generally.
Alternatively, if you would like to provide a response to the ARC as an individual, you can
click here to complete the survey.
Please also contact Dr Weir ([email protected]) for further information.

Applications open for Tracey Banivanua Mar Fellowships 2020
In 2018 La Trobe established a fellowship program to ensure staff who have demonstrated
potential to be our future research leaders and who have major care giving responsibilities
are able to maintain their career momentum and be supported to fulfil their research
potential. The fellowship is named in honour of Tracey Banivanua Mar, a much-esteemed
member of the Department of Archaeology and History who sadly passed away in 2017,
cutting short a stellar academic career. Find out more about the fellows who were
appointed in 2018 and 2019.
The University proudly supports gender equality and inclusivity. This is outlined in the
2018-2022 Diversity and Inclusion Plan and Gender Equality Blueprint. We are also a
SAGE Athena SWAN Bronze accredited institution.
We recognize that care giving responsibilities can severely interrupt, delay or otherwise
constrain academic careers, and that it is those who identify as women and gender diverse
parents who primarily face these barriers.
The Tracey Banivanua Mar Fellowships are part-time or full-time positions for up to three
years, to enable eligible researchers to develop or re-establish their careers where they
have been interrupted or delayed by child bearing, child rearing or other care giving duties.
By providing funding at a critical time in the careers of high potential academic staff, the
Fellowship aims to reduce the impact of career breaks and/or intense care giving
responsibilities on research productivity.
The Fellowships are open to current La Trobe University staff on casual, honorary,
sessional or fixed-term employment, have been a primary care giver in the past five years
and have faced career interruptions. The goal of this program is to help increase the
diversity of the staff in university leadership positions, so we particularly encourage
applications from researchers who are women, or who identify as transgender, gender
diverse and/or non-binary.
For more information and to submit an applications, please access the position
advertisement via the La Trobe University internal jobs website:

Invitation to participate in research integrity project by University of Melbourne and
University of Sydney
Research Ethics and Integrity staff at the University of Sydney and the University of
Melbourne are conducting a short survey of academics in Australia. The purpose is to gain
a deeper understanding about academic’s perceptions of the seriousness of breaches of
the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research and which parameters most
strongly influence these perceptions, with the aim of promoting consistency across
institutions in managing breaches.
We expect that the survey will take less than 15 minutes to complete. Attached to this
email is a Plain Language Statement with more details about the project and your rights as
a research participant should you choose to take part. If you are interested in taking part in
the survey, please read the Plain Language Statement attached and if you agree with the
terms, click the survey link to start the survey

Invitation: Innovation Event
We all agree that in a dynamic and uncertain context the evaluation of the impact and
responsibility of your innovation is a hard task. Responsible Research and Innovation
describes research and development processes that take into account effects and
potential impacts on the environment and society.
The Office of the Pro-Vice Chancellor Industry Engagement warmly invites you to attend a
talk by Professor Xavier Pavie from ESSEC Business School on the topic of:
Understanding innovation and how responsible innovation should shape our future.
• Date: Thursday 28/11/19
• Time: 3.00 – 4.30pm
• Venue: Conference Centre, TEC1, Research and Innovation Precinct (Building
RD1 on campus map, ref K10 -
• Afternoon tea will be provided.
Join us to hear Professor Pavie explain how responsibility is part of innovation. Innovation,
by nature, gives birth to organisational development and in an increasingly global
economic context innovation has to be at the core of any business strategy. At the same
time, the race for innovation in the world today raises new questions. These questions
mostly stem from the impossibility to forecast the result of the innovations: will they be
successful or not?
The questions innovation raise are also about its consequences on all of society, not only
on the economics. The results of innovation can stretch to the environment, to society and
to social topics. Accordingly, responsible-innovation must consider all consequences and
articulate relevant responses according to different topics.
Xavier Pavie is Professor at ESSEC Business School, Academic Director
Grande Ecole Asia Pacific, Director of the iMagination Center and Research Associate at
the IREPH (Research Institute in Philosophy) Université Paris Ouest. His research activities
have, since 2008, addressed the notion of responsible innovation. In 2011, he was in charge
of defining responsible innovation with the support of an international network of universities
as part of a project sponsored by the European Commission. He has published numerous
books and articles in management and philosophy, both academic and for a wider reading
audience. He is the author of a thesis on the reception of spiritual exercises in contemporary
philosophy and continues to regularly publish on that topic. Xavier Pavie is among LinkedIn
Top Voices worldwide Education (n°5) in 2017. http://www.xavierpavie.com
Please RSVP to Emma Curtis-Bramwell by CoB 26th November with any special dietary
requirements. If you have any questions regarding this event please call Emma on 9479
5140.
We look forward to seeing you there.

(Singapore), and SKALA (Indonesia) to deliver this initiative. The program will primarily
focus on four main industry domains - Health and wellbeing, Agri-Food, Cybersecurity, and
ICT.
Every year, 16 shortlisted start-ups will be invited to the feasibility study. They will
undertake a market study with the help of experts, mentors, and interns. This study will
advise them on the opportunity of their products in the European and Asian markets.
Based on the results, eight start-ups will be selected for the exchange program in these
destinations- Belgium, Indonesia and Singapore, each year.
La Trobe Accelerator’s Sustainable Start-ups Pitch Night
13 Start-ups with businesses focusing on United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals
pitched at La Trobe Accelerator’s first ever Sustainable Start-ups Pitch Night 2019.
31 Oct 2019, 13 Start-ups got the opportunity to pitch in front of an audience of over 90
people from the ecosystem, industry and academia. The event took place at the auditorium
of Pitcher Partners. From this pitch night emerged two winners – Little Green Panda were
the overall winners of the contest, whereas Silfresh bagged the People’s Choice Award for
the night.
CSIRO, Data61 and Swinburne University supported ASPIRE software solution which

PRIME: Simplifying research management
A message from Professor Susan Dodds
Part of being a researcher is spending time on tasks like applying for and managing
research funding. That’s why the PRIME team has been developing ways to make
managing your research easier and connecting you with research management help and
support.
In partnership with the La Trobe research community and technical experts, the team has
built the PRIME Researcher portal.
The PRIME Researcher portal provides a single place for researchers to find funding
opportunities, collaborate to develop proposals, check on the progress of applications and
manage research. It also contains a rich set of reports available to people who manage
research teams, providing increased visibility and accessibility of research management
information.
I am really pleased with the progress the PRIME team has made, and how the PRIME
Researcher portal will deliver sustainable improvements in research performance and
research management at La Trobe.
Your input is valuable, please get involved
Feedback is critical to ensuring that the PRIME Researcher portal meets researcher
expectations and performs as designed when it is released next year. I encourage all La
Trobe researchers to sign up, test the functions and give feedback.
Get involved and have your say in the future of research management at La Trobe.
