Industry linkages through government grants

Government programs to encourage collaboration benefit both industry and the University. We are one of the most successful organisations in attracting these grants and Sydnovate provides expert advice and assistance in preparing applications for a range of programs.

• ARC's Linkage Project Grant Scheme
  - a Linkage Project is a research project funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC) and jointly initiated and undertaken by the University together with an industry partner. The scheme matches cash and in-kind contributions by industry to fund specific projects as well as Australian Postdoctoral Fellowships (Industry) and Australian Postgraduate Awards (Industry).
• Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage Infrastructure and Equipment Facilities (LIEF)
  - funding facilities based in Sydney
• AusIndustry
