Our focus
Collaborating with leading researchers in science, engineering, information technology and manufacturing, the Mawson Institute addresses opportunities and future challenges facing Australia. Our focus is on the basic science and engineering that underpins 'next generation' manufacturing, providing new technologies based upon new knowledge and innovation that can be integrated into products or processes. Scientists and engineers will work in parallel, rather than sequentially, on concept and commercialisation, significantly reducing the time and steps for new product development.
Based at UniSA's Mawson Lakes campus, the Mawson Institute is currently building state-of-the-art laboratories. These purpose-built facilities will support the innovation cycle from conception to creation, meeting the research and development needs of advanced manufacturers, and showcasing our ability to create and utilise new technologies.
Staff members at the Mawson Institute aim for and achieve excellence in their fields of research. This core of knowledge that the University boasts will see continued improvement in developmental strategies which will in turn bolster results for the community.
