Key Performance Indicators
Key Performance Indicators enable us and the Australian Research Council, our primary funding body, to track progress across priority areas and activities.
Our Key Performance Indicators were set during our establishment in 2014 and are assessed internally and by the Australian Research Council each year. They have been designed to address objectives of the ARC’s Linkage Program and many focus on our Centre’s medium and long term contributions to the growth of Australia’s research capacity.
