Everything about Cooperative Research Centre totally explained

Cooperative Research Centres (CRCs) are key bodies for Australian scientific research. The Cooperative Research Centres Programme was established in 1990 to enhance Australia's industrial, commercial and economic growth through the development of sustained, user-driven, cooperative public-private research centres that achieve high levels of outcomes in adoption and commercialisation. The programme emphasises the importance of collaborative arrangements to maximise the benefits of research through an enhanced process of utilisation, commercialisation and technology transfer. It also has a strong education component with a focus on producing graduates with skills relevant to industry needs. The CRC Programme is administered by the Commonwealth Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research (Australia). The Annual Conference of the CRC Association brings together all CRCs from across Australia to discuss the latest approaches and achievements in collaborative science and education. The 2008 conference will be held from May 21 to May 23 at the Australian Technology Park in Sydney.
