The Liberal Government remains committed to supporting innovation in Tasmania.
Today I attended the official launch of the Australian Research Council's (ARC) Training Centre for Transforming Australia's Naval Manufacturing Infrastructure at the University of Tasmania.
I congratulate the University on this initiative and its success in securing funding through the ARC's Industrial Transformation Training Centres scheme.
The new Research Training Centre will deliver research outcomes through the development of postdoctoral and postgraduate candidates in partnership with industry, university and government.
As we are all aware the University is a world-class research institution with global impact. Based on its research performance, it is in the top two per cent of universities worldwide and ranked in the top 10 universities in Australia.
The Liberal Government values the University of Tasmania's contribution to this State, and today's launch further demonstrates its significance.
