Industrial Transformation Research Program
The Industrial Transformation Research Program supports quality R&D partnerships that will help transform Australian industries so they can prosper in a richer, fairer and greener Australia.
The Program will:
- focus on research areas that are vital for Australia’s future economic prosperity—such as engineering, materials science and nanotechnology, communications, chemical engineering and biotechnology;
- support Industrial PhD students and researchers to gain ‘hands-on’, practical skills and experience in these important areas; and
- foster important partnerships between business and universities.
To achieve this, the Program will fund Industrial Transformation Research Hubs and Industrial Transformation Training Centres.
Industrial Transformation Research Hubs
These research hubs will encourage R&D projects that could help solve the big problems facing our industries today. In these hubs, managers, researchers and industry workers will work together to address everything from our need to reduce pollution in our manufacturing processes to our struggle to compete locally with a high Australian dollar.
Please refer to the Important Dates page for updates here. More details on the application process and timeline will follow in early 2012.
