leadership in scientific and technological innovation to meet the Australian and global food challenges. The Centre was awarded $2.1M from the ARC with three postdoctoral fellowships and 10 postgraduate scholarships, and > $3M cash and in-kind contributions from our partner research institutes and industry partners.</p> <p>The Centre formally commenced operations at the end of 2013 and much of the activity in the first eight months was devoted to developing the specific research areas for the Centre鈥檚 projects with each industry partner, and to the recruitment of suitable postgraduate students and postdoctoral fellows.</p> <p>As an Industrial Training Centre we must foster close partnerships between university-based researchers and other research end-users to provide innovative Higher Degree by Research (HDR) and postdoctoral training for the end-user focused research industries vital to Australia’s future.</p> <p>ATFM is pleased to have as our university based research partners The University of New South Wales (UNSW), The University of Newcastle (UoN) and University of Western Sydney (UWS). Through this research consortium we have linked with industrial partners from: Allripe, Pepsico, Coorow Seeds, NSW Department of Primary Industries, Green鈥檚, Peanut Company of Australia, Simplot, CSIRO and the University of Nebraska鈥檚 Food Allergy Research and Resource Program (FARRP).</p> <p>ATFM has as its goals to:</p> <p>1. Foster opportunities for Higher Degree by Research candidates and postdoctoral fellows to pursue industrial training</p> <p>2. Drive growth, productivity and competitiveness by linking to key growth sectors</p> <p>3. Enhance competitive research collaboration between universities and organisations outside the Australian higher education sector</p> <p>4. Strengthen the capabilities of industries and other research end-users in identified Industrial Transformation Priority areas.</p> <p> </p> <hr /> <p> </p> <h3><strong>Centre structure</strong></h3> <p><a href="http://www.atfm.unsw.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Structure.jpg"><img class="alignnone wp-image-1192 size-large" src="http://www.atfm.unsw.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Structure-791x1024.jpg" alt="" width="791" height="1024" srcset="https://www.atfm.unsw.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Structure-791x1024.jpg 791w, https://www.atfm.unsw.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Structure-121x157.jpg 121w" sizes="(max-width: 791px) 100vw, 791px" /></a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <footer> <div class="footer-top"> <div class="container"> <div class="box"> <h3>ATFM</h3><div class="textwidget"><ul> <li> <strong>Address:</strong> <p>Chemical Science Building (F10) Kensington Campus Sydney New South Wales 2052 AUSTRALIA</p> </li> <li> <strong>Email:</strong> <a href="mailto:ATFM@unsw.edu.au">ATFM@unsw.edu.au</a> </li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="box"> <h3>UNSW</h3><div class="textwidget"><ul> <li> <strong>Address:</strong> <p>Anzac Parade, Kensington NSW 2033</p> </li> <li> <strong>Phone:</strong> <a href="tel:(02) 9385 4319">(02) 9385 4319</a> </li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="box"> <h3>The University of Western Sydney</h3><div class="textwidget"><ul> <li> <strong>Address:</strong> <p>James Ruse Drive, Parramatta NSW 2150</p> </li> <li> <strong>Phone:</strong> <a href="tel:(02) 9852 5222">(02) 9852 5222</a> </li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="box"> <h3>The University of Newcastle</h3><div class="textwidget"><ul> <li> <strong>Address:</strong> <p>University Drive, Callaghan NSW 2308</p> </li> <li> <strong>Phone:</strong> <a href="tel:(02) 4921 5000">(02) 4921 5000</a> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="above-footer-bottom"><div class="textwidget"><div class="footer-logos-wrap container"> <ul class="footer-logos"> <li></li> <li><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-255" src="http://www.atfm.unsw.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/logo2.png" alt="logo2" /></li> <li><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-256" src="http://www.atfm.unsw.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/logo3.png" alt="logo3" /></li> <li><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-257" src="http://www.atfm.unsw.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/logo4.png" alt="logo4" /></li> <li><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-258" src="http://www.atfm.unsw.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/logo5.png" alt="logo5" /></li> <li><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-259" src="http://www.atfm.unsw.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/logo6.png" alt="logo6" /></li> <li><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-260" src="http://www.atfm.unsw.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/logo7.png" alt="logo7" /></li> <li></li> <li> <p><a href="http://www.atfm.unsw.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Image.png"><img class="alignleft wp-image-1294" src="http://www.atfm.unsw.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Image-203x157.png" alt="Image" width="203" height="137" /></a><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-253" src="http://www.atfm.unsw.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/logo9.png" alt="logo9" /></li> </ul> </div> </div></div> <div class="footer-bottom"> <div class="container"> <div class="provide-by"> <h3>Major funding provided by:</h3><div class="textwidget"><img src="http://www.atfm.unsw.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/copy-logo.png" alt="copy-logo" width="169" height="94" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-56" /></div> </div> <div class="copyright"> 漏 2024 ATFM ARC Training Centre | <a title="CMS Web Design by Quikclicks" target="_blank" href="http://www.quikclicks.com.au/">Website by Quikclicks</a> </div> </div> </div> </footer> <script type='text/javascript' src='https://www.atfm.unsw.edu.au/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/js/jquery.form.min.js?ver=3.51.0-2014.06.20'></script> <script type='text/javascript'> /* <![CDATA[ */ var _wpcf7 = {"loaderUrl":"https:\/\/www.atfm.unsw.edu.au\/wp-content\/plugins\/contact-form-7\/images\/ajax-loader.gif","sending":"Sending ..."}; /* ]]> */ </script> <script type='text/javascript' src='https://www.atfm.unsw.edu.au/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/js/scripts.js?ver=4.1.2'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='https://www.atfm.unsw.edu.au/wp-content/themes/atfm/js/bootstrap.min.js?ver=4.7.29'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='https://www.atfm.unsw.edu.au/wp-content/themes/atfm/js/jquery.customSelect.min.js?ver=4.7.29'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='https://www.atfm.unsw.edu.au/wp-content/themes/atfm/js/custom.js?ver=4.7.29'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='https://www.atfm.unsw.edu.au/wp-content/themes/atfm/js/jquery.gmap.js?ver=4.7.29'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='https://www.atfm.unsw.edu.au/wp-includes/js/wp-embed.min.js?ver=4.7.29'></script> </body> </html>
