10. Web: arc.gov.au I Email: Communications@arc.gov.au Details of the Industrial Transformation Research Programme—the Schemes (2) Overall objectives: - foster important partnerships between business and universities - support researchers (higher degree by research and post doctoral fellows) to gain ‘hands-on’, practical skills and experience in important priority areas

11. Web: arc.gov.au I Email: Communications@arc.gov.au Industrial Transformation Training Centres (ITTC) To foster close partnerships between university-based researchers and industry to provide innovative training for early career researchers vital to Australia’s future industry. Over the life of the programme the ARC will enable: - establishing Training Centres nationwide - support ‘industry ready’ Higher Degree by Research candidates and postdoctoral researchers - provide a maximum of $1 million per year for up to five (5) years for each Training Centre.

12. Web: arc.gov.au I Email: Communications@arc.gov.au Industrial Transformation Research Hubs (ITRH) Opportunities for universities and industrial partners to focus on significant collaborative R&D projects with outcomes beyond their independent endeavours. The ARC will invest up to $1 million per year in each Research Hub with matching investment by industry partners up to a maximum of five years
