The Australian Research Council funds large-scale research hubs and training centres linking universities with industry
Top tips
- Start thinking about getting bids together 12 to 18 months in advance.
- The ARC wants large, integrated research hubs, not a collection of smaller projects.
- For training centres, focus on the future needs of your chosen industry.
- Get familiar with Industry Growth Centres—you should be in touch with one while applying.
As part of the Australian government’s efforts to harness R&D for the country’s main industries, the Australian Research Council has a two-handed programme aimed at fostering connections between universities and industry.
