ARC College of Experts
To support the advancement of knowledge and contribute to national innovation, the ARC engages a College of Experts to provide strategic advice and to play a key role in the identification of research excellence.
Its members are experts of international standing drawn from the Australian research community: from higher education, industry and public sector research organisations.
College of Experts members are approved by the Minister for appointment of periods of between one and three years.
The College of Experts members assess and rank ARC grant applications submitted under the National Competitive Grants Program, make funding recommendations to the ARC and provide strategic advice to the ARC on emerging disciplines and cross-disciplinary developments.
The ARC is required to maintain a high standard of professionalism and ethical conduct in its operations. The ARC Guidelines for Disclosure of Interests and Confidentiality Obligations are designed to ensure that all members of the ARC's College of Experts are aware of the confidentiality obligations associated with College activities and that conflicts of interest are identified and addressed in a rigorous and transparent way. The ARC requires members of the College of Experts to provide assurances to the ARC that they will abide by the ARC's confidentiality requirements and will disclose to it any conflicts of interest related to their official duties as members.
There are currently 77 members of the College of Experts.
