- A researcher exchange to King's College, London to carry out electron microscopy studies on the malaria parasite P.falciparum.
- Researcher exchanges between malaria research laboratories of Geoff McFadden at the University of Melbourne, and Kiaran Kirk at the Australian National University, Canberra; these Exchanges have lead to significant research findings and a Nature paper published in 2006.
