Coming together is a beginning
Come and meet us
Shall you want to hear more about what we do, or shall you have research needs, get in touch!
We host casual drinks every 3 months. These meet ups are the opportunity to connect with the Centre community and to hear students pitch their research in a friendly atmosphere. We also organize a Research Showcase annually in March.
Together, we can develop materials-based solutions with impact beyond academia
We offer a range of partnership modalities and collaboration opportunities, included internally funded projects, competitive grants and consulting.

Internal grants for collaborative projects
Linkage Spark
Each year, the Centre for Materials Science invests in collaborative projects set up with new industry partners. "Linkage Spark" provides opportunities for partners to explore ideas that may be leveraged for bigger schemes, such as an ARC Linkage grant. Applications for the Linkage Spark program open in January and close end of April. Projects involve:
- a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) student, fully funded by the Centre for 18(+3) months,
- or, a Postdoctoral Fellow researcher, co-funded by the Centre for 12 months.
Contact us to be put in touch with experts in your field and design a project today.
External grants submission
The Australian Research Council (ARC) as well as the Queensland government offer several schemes to promote national and international research partnerships between investigators and business, industry, community organisations, and other publicly funded research agencies. We have a solid experience in submitting grant proposals.
Some examples of external grant opportunities include, but are not limited to:
- ARC Linkage;
- Industrial Transformation Research Program (ITRP);
- Cooperative Research Center Projects grants (CRC-P);
- Training Centres;
- etc.
All these schemes represents a great opportunity to leverage resources and carry out industry relevant research.
