A new agreement signed in January 2018 gives researchers from five WA universities and CSIRO equal access to equipment and research facilities in centres at The University of Western Australia (UWA), Curtin University and CSIRO.
Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between UWA, Curtin University, Edith Cowan University, Murdoch University, The University of Notre Dame and CSIRO, researchers (staff, students, adjuncts and clinical appointments) can access microscopy, characterisation imaging and analysis facilities in UWA’s Centre for Microscopy Characterisation and Analysis (CMCA), facilities at the John de Laeter Centre (JdLC) at Curtin University and CSIRO. Under this MOU, all university-based researchers will receive equivalent subsidies of the cost from their host institution.
The MOU will foster increased collaboration between WA’s leading research institutions by removing barriers to research infrastructure for researchers.
