ATN Science and Research Priorities Seed Funding Scheme
The ATN Science and Research Priorities Seed Funding scheme connects leading ATN researchers with industry and international collaborators to address global challenges and key areas of national importance highlighted in the Commonwealth Government’s Science and Research Priorities, and associated Practical Research Challenges.
The scheme aims to support more world-class research that will deliver real-world benefits and directly improve the lives of every day Australians.
Four out of the nine Priorities have been chosen to pilot this initiative: Energy; Resources; Soil and Water; and Environmental Change.
