External Collaborative Research Projects
ACEMS members were involved in many collaborative research projects throughout 2020.
These included projects with partners from industry, government, and other sectors. The table below includes a non-exhaustive selection of such projects, highlighting the Centre’s disciplinary depth and breadth across the research themes. Details of many of these projects are included in other sections of this report.
New projects funded under the Industry Collaboration Support Scheme
ACEMS members were also active in 2020 in applying for funding under the Centre’s Industry Collaboration Support Scheme (ICSS) to help support new industry research projects. This scheme strongly encourages cross-node collaboration and applications from the Centre’s early career researchers and Associate Investigators.
Three ICSS applications were approved in 2020 (one conditionally). These new projects equate to a financial commitment from ACEMS of $50,000 and up $60,500 in matched funding from external collaborators. Collaborators on these new projects include the Australian Institute of Sport, Triathlon Australia, the Queensland Academy of Sport, FLEW Solutions and the Australian Institute of Marine Science.
