Every VC wins a prize with Vic Gov funding

Swinburne U has $6.7m from the state government for MedTechVic, a research and development hub for “assistive technologies” for people with disabilities.

It’s another example of state funding for research and community-focused projects which has made the Andrews Government as popular with Vic unis as the Morrison Government isn’t.

Monash U has just received $21m for capex from the state HE Investment Fund, including a medicines manufacturing centre (CMM September 2).

With support for Swinburne U, only RMIT and Federation U are waiting on Spring St announcements.
