Flagship multidisciplinary centres

Our pioneering Multidisciplinary Initiatives (MDIs) are a break with tradition, an unfettering of discipline-based university research, that tackle the biggest challenges of the 21st century.

More than a decade ago we started bringing together researchers from different fields to work on major societal challenges, from chronic disease and mental health to emerging areas such as nanotechnology. They attracted significant external funding, encouraged new collaborations, and delivered tangible benefits to communities.

Now we're ready to take the next step: to shape the MDIs into mission-driven platforms that tackle complex global challenges like climate change and food security from multiple perspectives, and explore the links between them.

Our MDIs connect researchers, outside partners and communities to find lasting solutions that make an impact in the real world.

Ìýfacilitate collaboration between universities, government, research organisations and businesses to create expertise in their field.

ARC Centres of Excellence are funded on the basis of research excellence and their potential to contribute to the economic, social and cultural development of Australia.

The ±¬ÁÏÍõ plays a fundamental role in 15 national ARC Centres of Excellence:

  • ARC Centre of Excellence for Advanced Peptide and Protein Engineering (CAPE)
  • Ìý(ASTRO 3D)
  • Ìý(CoEPP)
  • ARC Centre of Excellence in Mathematics for Quantum Era Security and Trust (MathQuEST)
  • (DARE)
  • Ìý(EarthBYTE)
  • Ìý(CUAVA)

TheÌýAustralian Research Council (ARC) Industrial Transformation Research Program facilitates collaboration betweenÌýuniversities, government, research organisations and businesses to support collaborative research activity to focused on strategic outcomes that are not independently realisable. This program has two streams, Research Hubs and Training Centres, which support Higher Degree by Research students and postdoctoral researchers to gain real-world practical skills and experience through placement in industry.

The ±¬ÁÏÍõ is home to one ARC Industrial Transformation Research Hub:

The ±¬ÁÏÍõ is also a node to one ARC Industrial Transformation Research Hub:

The ±¬ÁÏÍõ is home to three ARC Industrial Transformation Training Centres:
