Zero Net Emissions Agriculture CRC Scholarship 2026

About this scholarship

The Zero Net Emissions Agriculture CRC Scholarship supports PhD research in Australia on low-emissions agriculture topics such as livestock methane reduction and feed efficiency.

The Zero Net Emissions Agriculture CRC Scholarship is a research scholarship linked to projects supported by the Zero Net Emissions Agriculture Cooperative Research Centre in Australia. Based on available postings, it is used to fund doctoral research that contributes to lower-emissions agricultural systems, including livestock production, methane mitigation, feed efficiency, and related applied agricultural science areas.

The programme appears to support PhD-level study, typically for projects hosted at Australian universities and research facilities connected to CRC research priorities. A referenced opportunity was offered at The University of Western Australia for a project on feed efficiency and methane reduction in sheep, showing the scholarship's strong industry and research focus.

Funding in the referenced posting was provided as a stipend scholarship of AUD 38,110 per year, indexed, for 3.5 years. Coverage beyond the stipend was not clearly stated, so applicants should check the specific project advertisement for full details. Because this scholarship is tied to individual research projects, eligibility, topic area, and application steps may vary by posting.

Applicants should generally expect to need admission to a PhD at the host university and a strong academic background in a relevant discipline. In the example posting, candidates needed to meet UWA PhD admission requirements, hold a bachelor's or master's qualification with a research component, and have relevant preparation in fields such as animal nutrition, livestock production, or animal genetics. English proficiency was also essential.

Students interested in this scholarship should look for project-specific advertisements released through participating universities, CRC channels, or partner networks. Read each posting carefully for the exact host institution, research topic, supervision team, eligibility criteria, and closing date.
