About CMCRC

CMCRC's success has been built on creating and implementing the "Market Quality Framework", which combines six essential elements:

1. Academic research and commercial domain expertise in large global markets
2. Data science and computer science research expertise and operational capabilities in areas such as analytics, informatics, artificial intelligence and big data
3. An Industrial PhD Program that combines embedding with industry partners and a training and support program to ensure students have the skills and competencies to succeed
4. World-leading research infrastructure combining access to wide sources of data across our domains, technologies that enable the effective use of that data and a data technology support team
5. Industry partners with complex, high-quality research challenges for university partners, academics and students to solve, resulting in projects and outcomes of significant impact
6. In-house commercialisation opportunities through our spin-off companies, associates and new projects

CMCRC has received numerous prestigious awards in recognition of our contributions to research and industry. These include the Prime Minister’s Science Award for Innovation (2016), CRC Excellence in Innovation Award (2016) and the Research Australia Award for Innovation in the use of Data in Health & Medical Research (2016).

Funding

CMCRC is funded by a combination of industry and university partners who jointly support the CMCRC Mission and who have or will achieve a strong and proven return on investment relevant to their organisations. Additionally, this funding model is supported by spin-off and investment companies owned by CMCRC, the profits and exits from which support the core educational and social goals that are central to the CMCRC Mission.
