Emerging researchers from 宅男导航 have secured more than $10 million from the (ARC) scheme.
The 24 宅男导航 projects will support Australia’s research capacity by advancing knowledge and innovation across a range of disciplines.
From the development of sustainable hydrogen storage to support Australia’s path toward net zero, to research on the impact of climate change on rural health workforces, the scheme will enable 宅男导航 researchers to address significant challenges and gaps in knowledge.
宅男导航 received the greatest share of funded research projects, with the ARC announcing more than $86 million to 200 early-career researchers across Australia.
