Welcome to the Australia–International Collaborative Research Organisation


Australia’s first NHMRC-administering institution advancing collaborative projects with national and international partners. 

We align with the Australian Government’s research priorities, connect expertise across borders, and reinvest 50% of our profits into education, training, and community impact.


About

The Australia–International Collaborative Research Organisation (AICRO) is the first Australian institution advancing large-scale research in partnership with both national and international collaborators. As an NHMRC-administering institution, AICRO ensures research is aligned with the Australian Government’s national priorities while creating global networks that expand opportunity and impact. 

We connect universities, industry, government, and international organisations to co-design projects, secure competitive grants, and establish frameworks that accelerate the translation of research into innovation, policy, and practice. 

Our work addresses challenges that require global solutions—health, climate, clean energy, artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, food security, soil and water management, resources, transport, and cybersecurity. By reinvesting 50% of our profits into education, training, and community initiatives, AICRO ensures that research outcomes not only create immediate impact but also build capacity for future generations. 


Our Vision

To position Australia as a global leader in collaborative research and innovation, where knowledge partnerships create benefits for society, drive industry growth, and support a sustainable future.
