ARC announces $34m in collaborative research funding
Over $34 million has been awarded by the Australian Research Council (ARC) to support more than 25 new projects through the Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities (LIEF) scheme. The ARC LIEF scheme provides funding for research infrastructure, equipment and facilities to enable cooperative use by universities and industry.
ARC Chief Executive Officer Professor Ute Roessner said the scheme provides researchers with access to state-of-the-art infrastructure and facilities, both in Australia and internationally.
“This investment gives researchers access to specialised equipment and large-scale infrastructure that no single institution could reasonably deliver alone,” she said. “By pooling resources, they create opportunities for progress that would not otherwise be possible.
“These new projects will enhance Australia’s research capability in areas of national priority, including sustainable manufacturing, quantum technology and advances in diagnostic tools. They will help ensure Australia remains a leader in collaborative, world-class research.”
