CSIRO’s WLAN royalties send students to Nobel meet

There is new funding for ten young Australian researchers a year to attend the annual Lindau Nobel laureate meeting for a decade. The money comes from the Science and Industry Endowment Fund, which has a capacious kitty thanks to CSIRO, which in 2009 committed $150m from its wireless local area network (WLAN) licensing income. SIEF has funded 80 Australians to go to Lindau since 2013.
