Flinders University SmartSat CRC Dr Peter Woodgate Scholarships for Earth Observation 2023
The late Dr Peter Woodgate was instrumental in setting up SmartSat CRC’s structure and governance framework and was the inaugural SmartSat Chair, serving from August 2019 until his sudden unexpected passing in December 2022. Dr Woodgate was heavily involved with the space and geospatial industries for over 30 years. To honour Peter’s significant contribution, passion, vision and tireless commitment to the advancement of these industries in Australia and around the world, the SmartSat CRC Dr Peter Woodgate Scholarships for Earth Observation will be awarded on an annual basis each year, commencing from 2024 – 2026.
Applications are invited from current or potential Masters by Reseach or PhD students seeking to undertake study in the field of Earth Observation.
All SmartSat scholarship recipients within the SmartSat education and training program become valuable members of SmartSat, benefiting from their inclusion in its graduate network, as well as an extensive professional development program that includes opportunities to participate in the SmartSat conference series and networking events.
Our students also benefit from being part of an organisation that links research and industry. SmartSat actively encourages students to undertake periods of placement with industry and end-user partners so they have both academic and industry-based research experience.
