Industrial Transformation Training Centres for funding commencing in 2022

Overview

Training Centres foster close partnerships between university-based researchers and industry, through creating and delivering innovative Higher Degree by Research (HDR) and postdoctoral training. Training Centres are to develop researchers with capability in end user research that is vital to Australia's future. In delivering this training, the Training Centre focuses its researchers on developing solutions relevant to the Industrial Transformation Priorities. The current Industrial Transformation Priorities are: Advanced Manufacturing; Cyber Security; Food, Beverage and Agribusiness; Medical Technologies and Pharmaceuticals; Mining Equipment, Resources Technology and Services, Critical Minerals Processing; Oil, Gas and Energy Resources; Recycling and Clean Energy; Defence; and Space. The objectives of the Industrial Transformation Training Centres grant opportunity are to: support HDR candidates and postdoctoral researchers to undertake industrial training; support research collaboration between universities and organisations outside the Australian higher education sector; and strengthen the capabilities of industry and research end-users in identified Industrial Transformation Priority areas.
