Important information

The National AI Centre (NAIC) is transitioning from CSIRO to the Department of Industry, Science, and Resources (DISR) on 1st July 2024. You can find the latest NAIC content at industry.gov.au. For any NAIC-related questions, please email NAIC@industry.gov.au.

Defence CRCs aim to develop technologies that:

  • improve Australia’s defence and national security capability
  • address priorities under the Next Generation Technologies Fund.

Defence CRCs use program funding to partner with researchers and industry – particularly small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs). Each Defence CRC develops project proposals based on its priorities. It then invites Defence CRC participants and other organisations to apply for each project.

Your organisation may also apply to participate in a Defence CRC when it forms or any time after.

To learn more and for full eligibility criteria, visit Defence Cooperative Research Centres Program.
