The second CRC of Round 23 is announced by Science and Technology Minister Melissa Price

It’s the Sovereign Manufacturing Automation for Composites Cooperative Research Centre, already known as SOMAC by its admirers. There is $69.9m from government and $189m in partners’ cash and kind for the UNSW led CRC.

It follows Uni SA winning the CRC for antimicrobial resistance last week, meaning there is one more Round 23 announcement to come.
