Following an interview on 14th November in Canberra with the CRC Advisory Committee, all stages of the Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) application process have now been completed.
It is anticipated the final outcomes of the bid process will be announced in December 2019.
Should the bid for a CRC for Transformation in Mining Economies (CRC-TiME) be successful, the bid management team will enter a formative period and begin the process of establishing the company and associated governance, negotiating the CRC Programme contract and schedule and developing partnership agreements. Funding for CRC-TiME would then commence in July 2020.
In preparation for the interview, mock interviews were held in Perth, Brisbane and Canberra. The bid management team and WABSI wish to thank the following for supporting this process and ensuring that the team was well prepared for the interview:
