Twelve projects at The University of Queensland will share more than $4.69m in funding from the Federal Government’s Australian Research Council Linkage Project grants announced in Canberra today.
UQ researchers will work with industry on projects such as addressing crown-of-thorn destruction, improving sorghum crops, developing the next-generation of laser systems, unlocking the benefits of digital investments, and helping train the next generation of policing and security experts.
Acting UQ Vice-Chancellor Professor Aidan Byrne said the funding was an outstanding result that further demonstrated the University’s commitment to partnering with industry to deliver innovative solutions in areas of need.
“A key focus of our new Strategic Plan is to deliver globally significant solutions through partnerships,” Professor Byrne said.
