LT U had positives to announce yesterday, they might have sent the good news to the lab to work out what it was

The university announces $23m to create two new research hubs, connecting industry R&D to LT U research.

One is for digital innovation in “products, processes and services”.  The other is in “bio innovation”, providing wet labs for biotechnology and agri-technology companies to “commercialise research discoveries.”

Construction starts in May, with the Victorian Government contributing $17m and LT U the rest. They will join another Spring Street-Bundoora partnership, the university’s AgriBio Centre for plant, animal and microbial biosciences and biosecurity research.

Makes a change from LT U’s run of bad news, about more cuts to come and jobs to go.
