In response to our call for collaborative project proposals, we received many excellent applications from researchers across UQ, and we would like to thank all applicants and acknowledge the time and effort spent to prepare the proposals.
We are now delighted to officially announce our new collaborative projects and lead researchers for 2023! We are excited to start work and hope to soon share many new developments arising from these projects.
