Announcing the inaugural Simon Gladman Travel Grant

The contributions of the late Simon Gladman to Galaxy will be honoured by an annual award in his name. Galaxy Australia’s talented Technical Lead and everybody’s mate, Simon was sorely missed at GCC2023, where he was remembered with several tributes.

Simon was passionate about Galaxy and connecting with people, and was very excited to be organising the first international Galaxy Community Conference (GCC) to be hosted in Australia. He was celebrated at GCC2023 with the announcement of the inaugural Simon Gladman Travel Grant. The grant of AUD $5,000 will be awarded annually to an Australian citizen who is participating in a Galaxy community event. 

If you share Simon’s passion and want to contribute to Galaxy you’re encouraged to apply for the Simon Gladman travel grant.
