Cooperative Research Centre guidelines to revitalise innovation
3 December 2008
The President of the Council for the Humanities Arts and Social Sciences, Professor Linda Rosenman, today welcomed the new Cooperative Research Centres (CRC) guidelines.
Professor Rosenman said the guidelines would revitalise the CRC program and boost the utilisation of Australian expertise for cultural, economic and social benefit.
She said CHASS was encouraging its member organisations, and researchers across the humanities, arts and social sciences (HASS) fields, to attend the scheduled information sessions for the upcoming application round.
The Australian government has released the new guidelines for the Cooperative Research Centres (CRC) Program and launched the 11th CRC selection round. The program will now include humanities, arts and social science and fosters utilisation of research by end-users.
Professor Rosenman said research users could now work with the best in the HASS areas to tackle major issues affecting Australia as well as working with science and technology areas. "CHASS expects real innovation to emerge from this program which brings together research and industry and the non-profit sector to tackle the major issues and challenges affecting Australia."
She also welcomed the re-instatement of public good as an assessment criterion.
"CHASS is delighted that its case for broadening the CRC charter has been recognised by the Australian Government."
