Industrial Transformation Training Centres for funding commencing in 2026

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 Training Centres scheme objectives 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. The intended outcomes of the Training Centres scheme are: growth, productivity and competitiveness within Industrial Transformation Priorities; and economic, commercial and social transformation.
