Background

In 1999, The Australian Gas Association established a trust fund to pursue educational activities in connection with the Australian gas industry. Coinciding with changes to the AGA, the Trust is now called the Australian Gas Industry Trust (AGIT) but has maintained the same set of objectives and funds similar activities as before.

Objectives

The objectives of the Trust are to contribute to the advancement of study, education and research in the field of gas utilisation and application development and related fields and to recognise and support excellence in those fields.

Particular objectives the Trust include –

• contributing to the personal and professional development of individuals in the field of gas and related fields and encouraging them to pursue their field of expertise;

• awarding prizes for excellence in those fields;

• supporting scholarship in those fields including the grant of scholarships and other monetary assistance;

• promoting research and invention in those fields;

• providing financial assistance to those studying or undertaking research in those fields;

• dissemination of information in those fields, including by conferences lectures and publications;

• promoting an understanding of those fields; and

• soliciting donations to the Trust Fund.

Activities

Each year the Trust conducts an Overseas Study Tour and Gas Speak. In addition, the Trust invites individual expenditure proposals from organisations involved in the Australian natural gas industry on projects consistent with the Trust’s objectives.
