The seminar, hosted by MTPConnect in conjunction with BioMelbourne Network, will highlight the opportunity to access Round 11 of Cooperative Research Centres Projects (CRC-P) Grants that provide funding for short-term industry-led research collaborations to support manufacturing-related projects in the MTP sector.

The CRC-P Round 11 Grant Opportunity Guidelines are now available, and it is anticipated that Round 11 will open soon.

Up to 70 per cent of the funding has been set aside for projects that align with the National Manufacturing Priorities (NMPs) – outlined in the Modern Manufacturing Strategy (MMS) as: Resources Technology & Critical Minerals Processing, Food and Beverage, Medical Products, Recycling and Clean Energy, Defence, and Space.

This event will explore DISER’s CRC-P program for this Round 11, the focus on collaboration, eligibility and guidelines for applicants. Discussions will centre on the MMS and the advanced manufacturing of medical products (therapeutics, devices, diagnostics), as it relates to value creation.

SPEAKERS:
• Martin Dent, Program Manager, CRC Projects, Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources
• Shay Chalmers, Owner & Director, Strategic Engineering Australia
