In brief
$2.5m ATN research challenge
Australia’s five leading technology universities – including UniSA – have
announced a $2.5 million grant program, aimed at increasing and promoting
the benefits of collaborative research. The Australian Technology Network
(ATN) Research Challenge has allocated a total of $500,000 per annum to fund
up to two research programs, each of up to five years’ duration. ATN
director Vicki Thomson said the challenge would enhance the profile of ATN
Universities and promote collaborative research. “The challenge will support
research in common areas and emphasise multi-disciplinary partnerships
across the ATN,“ she said. The ATN is an alliance of Queensland University
of Technology, RMIT University, UTS Sydney, Curtin University of Technology
and UniSA. Nominations of expressions of interest close on September 30.
