The Cooperative Research Centres (CRC) Program
This CRC is part of an Australian federal government program that unites research, industry and government agencies to conduct research and development in specific areas. Research efforts are focussed on utilisation and comercialisation. The members of each CRC jointly plan, execute and monitor the research. For more information on the CRC Program, click here.
