To support and ensure the success of the Exciton Science Connect Program, the Centre will provide seed funding grants of up to $30k per project to launch new and exploratory research or training projects with the Connect Program’s industry partners.
The objective of the Seed Funding Scheme is to provide the kick-start money to build a strong and trusting relationship between Exciton Science and our Exciton Connect Program partners, in the aid of developing future ARC Linkage Program grants and other contract research projects and to develop mutually beneficial relationships.
A more substantial and flexible Major Projects Funding is also available for funding well-developed projects with committed industry partners requiring larger investments (1 FTE, 1+ year).
To discuss and apply for these funding options, please email connect@excitonscience.com or contact our Science and Industry Liaison officer.
