Advancing Australia’s national priorities through global collaboration in health, climate, AI, energy, and beyond.
We advance research across the Australian Government’s nine Science and Research Priorities, while recognising that many of these priorities overlap and reinforce one another:
Health – Advancing medical research, digital health, and health system innovations that improve quality of life.
Climate & Environmental Change – Developing solutions to mitigate risks, strengthen resilience, and support sustainable ecosystems.
Clean Energy – Supporting the global transition to renewable, reliable, and low-carbon energy sources.
Artificial Intelligence & Digital Transformation – Harnessing AI, data science, and emerging technologies to drive productivity, inclusion, and competitiveness.
Advanced Manufacturing – Building the next generation of industries through smarter processes and innovative technologies.
Food & Agriculture – Ensuring sustainable, safe, and secure food systems that respond to global population growth and climate pressures.
Soil & Water – Safeguarding natural resources for future generations through better management and conservation.
Resources & Transport – Enabling smarter, cleaner, and more efficient systems for mobility and resource utilisation.
Cybersecurity – Protecting Australia’s and the world’s digital infrastructure from emerging threats.
At AICRO, research is never conducted in isolation. We believe the world’s most pressing challenges can only be solved when universities, industry, government, and international partners work together. Collaboration is not just part of our model — it is our philosophy.
Every project we support is designed to:
Connect knowledge with practice – ensuring discoveries move beyond the lab into policy, technology, and real-world solutions.
Align with priorities – advancing the Australian Government’s national missions while contributing to global agendas like the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Empower researchers – giving them the tools, networks, and funding to deliver outcomes that matter.
Benefit society and industry – strengthening communities, driving innovation, and creating sustainable growth.
Partnering with AICRO means joining a network that is:
Globally connected – Access international partners, funding opportunities, and collaborative networks.
Governed with integrity – Collaborate under transparent frameworks, including clear Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) and agreements.
Future-focused – Know that 50% of profits are reinvested into building the next generation of researchers, innovators, and leaders.
