New centres of excellence boost TCF industry
Monday, 23 April, 2001
The Commonwealth and Victorian Governments and the CSIRO have agreed to establish two new centres of excellence in Technical Textiles and Advanced Wool Products in Geelong, Victoria, aimed at stimulating advanced training, education, research and product development in textiles, clothing and footwear (TCF) industries.
The centres will provide advanced level research and training activities and will work closely with neighbouring Deakin University to establish post-graduate and post-doctoral research programs focusing on the future needs of the industry.
The two centres of excellence will be supported by a $2.1 million cash outlay and ongoing funding by CSIRO. The Victorian Government will commit a further $1 million and a substantial amount of the equipment currently used by the International Fibre Centre.
The Commonwealth Government will contribute $1.6 million to facilitate the establishment of the two centres.
