Cooperative Research Centres (CRCs)

Cooperative Research Centres, generally known as CRCs, bring together researchers from universities, CSIRO and other government laboratories, and private industry. CRCs cover long-term, collaborative research and development efforts of very substantial quality and size that contribute to national objectives.

Research candidates can be involved with the work of CRCs through their enrolment with a particular school; some CRCs offer post graduate scholarships. RMIT is a partner of the following CRCs:
