The ARC Training Centre for the Transformation of Australia’s Biosolids Resource took a leap forward this week by finalising all its project proposals.

In a series of on-line Industry Endorsement Workshops held over the past 5 weeks during November and December, Chief Investigators on all ten projects presented feedback received from industry partners following the initial consultation round, and reviewed amendments to the projects as a result of this valuable industry input.

Workshop discussions then helped to clarify and prioritise industry expectations and sought to identify potential impacts from the Centre’s research on the future of the sector.

The close cooperation and support of industry personnel and user groups for the Centre’s research program is significant in helping to create strong partnerships and ensuring the long term practical application of research outcomes.
