Defence awards engineers $2m extension funding Thanks to $2million in funding awarded by the Department of Defence, Sydney researchers will co-lead a truly global R&D collaboration, involving nine universities, on frontier materials science challenges in advanced manufacturing.
Minister of Defence Industry, the Hon. Melissa Price, and US Secretary of Defense, Lloyd J Austin III, recently approved a recommendation from the US Office of Naval Research and Australia’s Department of Defence to grant an extension phase to an Australian-United States Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (AUSMURI) program led by the University of Sydney.
AUSMURI is one of the flagship schemes under the Next Generation Technologies Fund (NGTF) and is the Australian companion to the United States MURI program. Both programs create bi-lateral, multidisciplinary teams that conduct research on high-priority projects for future defence capability.
