Matched cash project support and merit based discretionary funding
Industry direction and project oversight
Specialised academic capabilities
Multi-party project teams
Strong commercialisation and translation focus supported by innovation management infrastructure
Education and training support

The strength of the AACRC approach lies in the degree of autonomy partners are given to collectively determine project parameters in the context of the AACRC’s mission and objectives. Industry partners will determine their own level of involvement in projects specifically relevant to their commercial trajectory and research and development challenges they are seeking to address.

Participation

All partners of the AACRC will be required to contribute cash and/or in-kind resources towards future collaborative projects.

Industry and end-user contributions into project activity will be matched dollar for dollar with Commonwealth funds. Additional Commonwealth funding will support cross sector innovation around core challenges, end user field trial networks and technology mapping and acceleration activities.

Partners will also benefit from the additional leverage that comes from collaborative activities with multiple contributions of cash and in-kind resources.

Robust and flexible IP management policies and support will drive commercialisation and early adoption by consortium partners.
