The state government announces $21m to fund three capex projects at the university’s Clayton campus

They are * the medicines manufacturing innovation centre * a hub “to drive innovation” in cancer therapies and “a home for start-ups to digitally streamline smart manufacturing.” The money comes from what the state government describes as “the unprecedented” Victorian HE State Investment Fund.” Previous funding is announced for Deakin U, La Trobe U, Uni Melbourne and Victoria U – which can only mean there is good news soon for RMIT, Swinburne U and Fed U.
