We will build a world-leading research centre to create technology that will revolutionise information systems, create and develop Australian industry, and train and mentor young researchers in the science and application of this transformational technology. The outcomes will fuel R&D programs for decades, harnessing links between fundamental research and commercial applications through industry partners and start-up companies, and developing strong linkages between Australian and overseas universities and companies. Our work will lead to a substantial growth in employment in advanced manufacturing and the ICT sector, and will optimise the economic and social value to Australia of the National Broadband Network.
