Today marks the completion of our first year of operation!
Over the past year, we’ve spent a lot of time understanding the challenges of our industry partners (InfraBuild, Cook Medical APAC, Weld Australia, B&R Enclosures, IR4 PTY LTD and ARM Hub (Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing)) to ensure we can deliver research impact in areas matter most.
In celebration of our incredible first year, over the coming weeks, we will be sharing our key achievements and highlights from the past 12 months.
This is all ahead of our official launch by the Australian Research Council, which will be take place in December. Our launch event will be a showcase of the impact of our Centre’s research on Australian Manufacturing so far and a taster of what we have planned in future!
Thank you to our researchers and industry partners for their enthusiasm, engagement and commitment to collaboration. The next 4 years, and beyond, are looking very bright!
