The Annual Club Melbourne Fellowship programme was also announced, with Melbourne researchers Gemma Sharp and Shoujin Wang named this year’s recipients. Launched to support the next generation of Melbourne’s research leaders, the Fellowship was created to recognise excellence in research and leadership in mid-career Melburnian researchers.
The Club Melbourne Ambassador Program includes 126 Victorians from diverse disciples of medicine, science and environment, technology, engineering, business, and education, with only a select few invited to join the programme each year.
With support from the Melbourne Convention Bureau, Club Melbourne Ambassadors have helped to secure 156 business events for Melbourne bringing more than 177,400 delegates and contributing A$1 billion (US$689.1 million) to the Victorian economy since 2005.
