Research grants & funding
Our outstanding track-record of Australian Research Council (ARC) grants is testament to the quality of our research.
ARC grants are consistently awarded to our researchers for their work across electrical engineering and telecommunications, these national competitive grants fund a range of projects that contribute ground-breaking discoveries and technologies to our society.
We also regularly secure research funding from various state and federal government bodies, major private organisations and industry.
