The Leading Research Centre (LRC) initiative is a mechanism designed to identify, support, and grow research areas of strategic priority to the STEM College and to RMIT.

The LRC scheme is intended to grow research excellence and reputation in priority areas for the STEM College. Its purpose is to establish the STEM College as world leading over time in identified key areas of research strength.

As part of the vision for the LRCs, STEM College wanted to identify research areas of strength in STEM at RMIT, using a bottom-up approach that allowed researchers to present a case for their own research areas of excellence.

With globally recognised researchers supported by state-of the-art facilities, the STEM College offers exceptional opportunities for the LRCs to take their research to the next level, using existing and new college research infrastructure to grow themselves.
