Linkage Program
The ARC's Linkage funding schemes aim to:
- encourage and extend cooperative approaches to research; and
- improve the use of research outcomes by strengthening links within the innovation system in Australia and internationally.
Linkage promotes national and international research partnerships between researchers and:
- business;
